Animal-related accidents are dangerous encounters for motorists. Deer cause over 1 million motor vehicle accidents in the U.S. each year. On average, there are between 175 and 200 fatalities and over 10,000 injuries every year caused by deer accidents. The odds of hitting a deer with a car in the US are 1 in 116.
