Invited Commentary

Dr Clark and colleagues have reviewed and highlighted the risks of moose-motor vehicle collisions in Northern New England and focused on the enormous number of overall animal-motor vehicle collisions in the US. The Federal Highway Administration estimates that there are 300,000 motor vehicle-animal collisions annually, resulting in 26,000 injuries and 200 deaths in the US per year. The authors have pointed out quite clearly that both moose and deer frequently become entangled with motor vehicles, occasionally resulting in fatality.
