Pennsylvania sees most animal-related collision claims in nation

Drivers are more likely to hit an animal with their vehicle in Pennsylvania than most other places in the country.

Driving the news: The state ranks fifth in the nation for collisions between cars and animals, State Farm data shows.

• The likelihood of hitting an animal is one in 54.

Between the lines: This is an improvement considering Pennsylvania saw the third highest likelihood of animal-car collisions in the country last year.

• But Pennsylvania tops the list in 2021 for placing the most insurance claims for these types of collisions.

The bottom line: Be safe out there.

• One study estimates about 200 people die in the U.S. each year as a result of hitting a deer, Axios' Worth Sparkman reports.
