High Risk of Deer of the Road in May
Posted on
Scottish Natural Heritage is urging motorists to slow down and look out for deer during May. Vehicle accidents involving deer peak at this time of year, as yearling animals disperse, looking for their own territories.
The most recent deer-vehicle collisions research shows there are more than 7000 collisions between motor vehicles and deer every year in Scotland, with an average of 65 of these resulting in human injuries. The combined economic value of these accidents, through human injuries and significant damage to vehicles is £7 million. Across the UK, it's estimated there are between 42,000 and 74,000 deer-vehicle related accidents a year, resulting in 400 to 700 human injuries and about 15 deaths, with an annual cost approaching £47m.
Please remember to report any deer vehicle collisions to the police who will contact the best person locally to help with the injured deer at the roadside.
