These facts are staggering!
Because of urban sprawl and the increasing number of cars on the road today, the number of car collisions with deer has steadily been rising – more than 21% in the last five years!
Holy cow!
Each year, there are more than a million reported accidents, with 200 fatalities caused by deer collisions!
After conducting a study, it was determined West Virginia was the number one deer accident state in the country, with your chances of hitting a deer 1 in 42 over the span of twelve months.
Thats just ridiculous!
Be careful on the roads between 6:00-9:00pm since those are the prime hours for dear activity and recorded accidents.
We don’t want any of you getting in an accident! Make sure to check your insurance also, since some plans don’t cover collisions with deer. Don’t swerve either! That’s one of the biggest reasons for accidents becoming larger.
Crazy statistics!
We may just be walking everywhere from now on.
