Pennsylvania motorists are reporting more deer-vehicle collisions than any other state. More than 150 people are killed each year in the estimated 1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions that occur across the country, State Farm said. Pennsylvania deer-collision claims accounted for 18,000 of the total 179,000 the company received from July 1, 2004, through June 30. The second-most deer-vehicle collisions took place in Michigan, followed by Illinois, Ohio and Georgia. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said the annual number of deer-vehicle crashes that resulted in an injury or required towing has held steady at about 2,500 in recent years. From 2000 through 2004, 41 people died in deer-vehicle crashes in the state, PennDOT said.
