Transportation Department study found crashes between animals and humans rose year by year.The accidents made up about 5 percent of all crashes nationally, and cost the economy about $8 billion.Such costs come from car repaid, emergency room visits and removal of the dead animals on roads.Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people.But they are often deadly to wildlife.The study also found that 21 endangered or threatened species in the US. are affected by vehicle hits.Bridges, underpasses and fencing reduce the areas animaldriver collisions by 80 percent.Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states.Many other areas also need such paths.But finding money for more crossings is “thenumberone problem”.
