A study by a car insurance-funded highway safety group finds deaths from vehicle crashes with deer and other animals have more than doubled over the last 15 years.
The report by the Highway Loss Data Institute says 223 people died in animal-vehicle crashes last year. That`s up from 150 in 2000 and 101 in 1993.
North Dakota reported 18 deaths over the past 15 years. The state had two last year.
Since 1993, Texas had the most deaths from such crashes, with 227, followed by Wisconsin with 123 and Pennsylvania with 112. Minnesota had 74 deaths. |
