Deer-vehicle collisions in Ohio decreased last year probably because of efforts to educate drivers to the danger, according to the Ohio Insurance Institute.
Figures from OII, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife and Ohio State Highway Patrol showed an 8.5 percent decrease in the number of collisions across the state in 2005.
The highway patrol for 2005 reported 27,337 deer-vehicle collisions, down from 29,874 crashes reported in 2004. There were nine fatalities and 1,084 injuries caused by these crashes in Ohio last year. This compares to five fatalities and 1,141 injuries reported in 2004; and seven fatalities and 1,158 injuries reported in 2003.
