What about single car collisions that don't involve wildlife ...... sorry did not read the article
In the Ottawa area, I'm guessing they are way down. Something has happened to the green belt deer herd. Local rumor is that the NCC had them cleaned up. Nothing to substantiate that but seeing them at dawn/dusk is a rarity now - and it's not like we're being overrun by coyotes.
In 2020, Dr. Michael Drescher, a professor of conservation at the University of Waterloo, estimated that there are 14,000 wildlife-related collisions province-wide each year. At that time, he said this represented 10% of all automobile collisions in Ontario.Quote:

Talked to OPP before Christmas and car/deer collisions are down considerably in Bruce and Grey Counties to. Ironically I had my first and only incident this past May on my way out to turkey hunt and I'm 53, but I am usually looking for the buggers steady.
