Pennsylvania motorists have a one-in-57 chance of being involved in a crash with an animal – that’s according to State Farm Insurance. That puts Pennsylvania sixth in the country for animal related crashes. The animal crashes that usually cost the most to repair and are most dangerous are with deer. There were 57 hundred deer-vehicle collisions in Pennsylvania in 2021, resulting in 1,255 injuries and 13 fatalities. That’s right -- people killed by colliding with a deer. How can these crashes be avoided and what to do if you do hit a deer? With us on The Spark today are Pennsylvania’s Acting Insurance Commissioner Michael Humphreys and Lt. Adam Reed, Director for the Communications Office for the Pennsylvania State Police.
