Fatal deer/car crashes double since 1993

A new report from the Highway Loss Data Institute points to urban sprawl and overlapping habitat as the main reason for the significant increase in fatal vehicular accidents involving deer and other wildlife--with 223 deaths last year, up from 150 in 2000 and 101 in 1993. In the past 15 years, Texas has led the country with 227 fatailities, followed by Wisconsin with 123 and Pennsylvania with 112. Via AP.
