You may not pay much attention to those deer crossing warning signs on the side of the road, but statistics say that you probably should. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Information Institute (III), auto deer collisions are responsible for around 150 occupant deaths each year. Not only that, they also cause more than 10,000 injuries and over $3.6 billion dollars in vehicle damage as well. With adult deer weighing in at over 250 pounds, the potential for disaster to drivers should come as no surprise.
