An albino deer spotted around Farmington Hills died after being struck by a car Tuesday, city officials said.
The incident was reported near 12 Mile and Halsted roads, according to a Facebook post.
“This unique deer captured the hearts of many community members, and we understand the strong community interest in their story,” officials said in the post. “We appreciate the compassion shown by those who reached out with concern.”
They also urged motorists to remain alert at dawn and dusk when animals like deer are more lively, especially as wildlife activity increases during the spring.
