In the United States, approximately 59,000 people are injured annually in deer-vehicle collisions, with many of these injuries considered severe. This figure comes from a 2022 study cited by CNN, which also notes that these collisions result in about 440 human fatalities each year. The data aligns with earlier reports from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which estimated around 10,000 injuries per year specifically related to deer-auto collisions, though this number may underreport severe cases.

Numbers can vary by source and reporting criteria, as not all collisions are reported to authorities, and "severe" injuries may not always be distinctly quantified. For instance, a Minnesota study suggests that only the most serious cases (involving hospitalizations or significant property damage) are typically documented, potentially underestimating the total.
