KSP warns motorists of increased deer activities November is peak month for deer collisions By Kendra Wilson, Public Affairs Officer Kentucky State Police, Frankfort, KY FRANKFORT, KY -- The Kentucky State Police is urging all motorists to be aware of the increased dangers posed by deer wandering onto roadways during November and December. "Two factors combine to boost the chances that motorists may encounter these animals during this time of the year: mating season and hunting season" says KSP Sgt. Michael Webb. "This results in increased movement that presents hazards to deer, vehicles and drivers." Nationally, about 1.6 million vehicle-deer collisions occur each year, resulting in about 150 deaths and $3.6 billion in damage. The national average cost-per-claim is $4,135. "A collision with a deer can cause extensive vehicle damage such as a crushed front end or punctured radiator to severe hood, windshield and roof damage," says Webb. "The human costs can be very serious as well." In 2014, Kentucky recorded 3,092 vehicle-deer collisions, an increase of 128 crashes compared to 2013 statistics. Three people were killed and 115 injured. During the past five years, Boone County led the state in deer collisions with an average of 148 per year. Hopkins County posted 122 followed by Jefferson County with 103, Campbell County with 97 and Hardin County with 96. According to State Farm Insurance Company, Kentucky is ranked 14th in the country for the most deer collisions. The odds that drivers in the state will hit a deer are one in 113. To avoid becoming a statistic, KSP offers the following defensive driving tips for motorists to reduce their chances of hitting a deer:
