| Car versus deer crashes are up in November Posted: 27 Nov 2010 08:03 AM PST  ky3-car-versus-deer-crashes-are-up-112710 NATIONWIDE -- For drivers and auto insurance companies, these are anxious weeks. It's mating season for deer, which means car crashes involving deer are way up. Last year, Missouri had 300 reported crashes involving deer. Five people were killed and more than 300 people were injured. Nationwide, deer collisions are up 21% over five years, with State Farm estimating nearly 2,000,000 annually.
