According to a new study conducted by State Farm Insurance, car-deer related accidents are on the decline nationally. Wisconsin ranks seventh in likeliness to collide with a deer as well as having a one in 97 chance of hitting a deer.

November, followed by October, are the most dangerous months for car-deer crashes. During the fall, deer begin to mate and migrate, thus increasing the risk of hitting one while driving.

Wisconsin law enforcement suggest, despite most motorists’ reactions, not to evade the animal. Swerving out of the way can result in more serious injuries. Turning on your vehicle’s brights and keeping an eye on roadside ditches can help avoid an accident.
