How many kangaroo crashes are there every year?

Answer 1

None.

Despite the fact that kangaroos are known to occasionally attack people, the only recorded fatality of a person by a kangaroo happened in 1936, in New South Wales. In this instance, a man was killed when he tried to rescue his dogs who were actually attacking the kangaroo.

Kangaroos jumping out in front of cars do contribute to car accidents. Meanwhile, both cyclists and motocyclists have been killed directly when they have hit these animals on the road, but this is uncommon, and no statistics are available.

Answer 2

A great many kangaroos die from being hit by cars. On many rural highways, the sight of dead kangaroos is a very common one, with long stretches of highway literally littered with kangaroo carcasses. Even on the outskirts of cities, where bushland meets the road, dead wallabies are seen daily.

Answer 3

Collisions between kangaroos and cars occur all over Australia daily. There is no way to determine accurate figures.
