More than 13,953 traffic accidents involving deer and moose are estimated to occur each year in Finland. These accidents cause at least €92 million in costs and lead to 122 personal injuries (3 fatalities) annually. Deer-related accidents are increasing as both deer populations and vehicular travel increase.
