Deer-Vehicle Collisions
Deer–Vehicle Collisions
Hitting a deer is a real risk for many drivers, especially in the fall and at night. This page helps you explore that risk in three ways — for the whole year, for a specific month, and for a single drive — and shows how simple choices (like when you drive and where) can change your odds.
Choose Your Inputs
- Which state are you driving in?
- Which month are you interested in?
- What time of day are you driving?
- What kind of road are you on?
- How long is this drive?
- Is there wildlife fencing or a safe crossing on your route?
Your Results
- Annual chance (per driver per year)
- Monthly chance (per driver for selected month)
- Trip-level chance (for the single drive you set)
See the data page for all of the details on how these risks are calculated.
