Each year there are 500,000 to 750,000 car-animal collisions that result in more than 100 deaths. The National Safety Council estimates that over 4,000 injuries result from these crashes.* Crashes due to large animal and vehicle encounters will continue to increase as urban habitats encroach upon rural environments.
The most serious crashes occur when a motorist swerves to avoid a deer and hits another vehicle or fixed object, or when the vehicle rolls over. Be aware of the times and places when moose and deer are more likely to be on the roads.
When a large animal appears on a roadway, drivers only have a brief moment to react. Stay aware and awake–especially in rural or heavily forested areas. Wear your safety belts—they are your best defense in any collision. In large animal/ vehicle crashes the most serious injuries and fatalities occur because people were not wearing their seat belts.
If you encounter a deer or moose standing in the road:
Do not try to go around the animal.
Stay in your vehicle. Do not get out to observe the animal or chase it off the road. By getting out of the car, you put yourself and other drivers at risk.
Give the animal plenty of room to let it wander back to the woods.
If a crash is unavoidable, here are some tips to keep you safe:
Don’t swerve. Swerving may confuse the animal because it won’t know which way to run. Instead, brake firmly, hold onto the steering wheel and bring your vehicle to a controlled stop. Hitting a deer or other large animal is safer than hitting an oncoming vehicle or running off the road and striking a roadside obstruction.
Pull off the road, turn on your emergency flashers and call for help. Be cautious of other traffic
if you leave your vehicle.
Don’t attempt to remove the animal from the roadway unless you know it is dead. An injured animal’s sharp hooves could easily hurt you.
MOVE OVER LAW

AIKEN, S.C. - When you're driving, you could be breaking the law and don't even know it. It's a law that's been around for more than seven years.
Now South Carolina Highway Patrol wants to make sure you "move over" before you take someone's life.
"The first thing I thought, 'did Jason do something wrong?' He was doing everything right," said Shelley Fulmer, widow.
Shelley Fulmer's husband Sgt. Jason Sheppard is one of 150 law enforcement officers who've died in the line of duty because drivers weren't paying attention.
Now, she and other law enforcement officers are part of a state wide campaign to make sure drivers in South Carolina know about the "Move Over Law".
"Urge motorists to slow down, change lanes when they see flashing lights and workers on the scene," said Harvey Jay, Aiken Fire Department.
The law was enacted in 2002, and it requires drivers to slow down AND switch lanes when they see workers and law enforcement on the side of the road. It's a campaign Fulmer hopes will help save another person's life.
“Just the simple act of paying attention, moving over, can save someone's life,” said Fulmer.
Forty-three states including South Carolina have the Move Over Law.
