Johnsonburg, Pa. — Deer have been leaping to their deaths in a northwest Pennsylvania town.

The residents working to save them say the animals plummet off a bypass.

"Recently, since we lived on the other side of the bypass, we've had 25 deer jump to their death in a populated area," said Bill Boylan. "That end of the bypass is probably more dangerous than any other area."

Boylan and other residents said they tried reaching out to the Pennsylvania state Department of Transportation, but they did not get the response they were hoping for.
