Animals are just one type of roadway hazard. From the smallest rodents, raccoons, squirrels, duck families (mom and ducklings), etc., to the largest North American animals, like deer, buck, bears, and elk, animals crossing roadways cause thousands of accidents every year. People are hurt from swerving to try to avoid the animal or group of animals, or from colliding with the animal. If the vehicle hits an animal, it can cause extensive windshield and body damage plus human injury. Also in some States, killing a deer in a roadway accident requires the driver to report the carcass to the State Game Wardens or State Police, to avoid having another driver coming upon a danger. When driving anytime from dusk to dawn, driving near ponds or lakes, driving near State Game Lands/Reserves/Parks, or driving on rural roads, the risks are much higher, but animals even cross major interstates. Drivers must always be alert to these potential dangers.
