The autumn season is notorious for its elevated risk of accidents attributed to deer, a concern that plagues many communities each year. Pennsylvania, in terms of the number of fatal animal-related collisions, shares the third position with states like Illinois, North Carolina, and Oklahoma. Jana L. Tidwell, the manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic, emphasizes that “animal-vehicle collisions start to increase in October and peak in mid-November.” She further advises motorists to exercise heightened caution and remain alert behind the wheel, particularly during dawn and dusk when deer activity is at its peak. This increased caution is vital as the deer population grows, and urbanization encroaches upon once-rural areas, increasing the potential for such tragic accidents.
