A new study shows Missouri remains a “high risk” state for deer collisions. State Farm Insurance’s 2017 deer-collision study shows Missouri drivers have a 1 in 112 chance of hitting a large animal like a deer or elk. The data is based on insurance claims.

Drivers in West Virginia are at the greatest risk with a 1-in-43 chance of hitting a deer with their cars. Missouri is 17th on this year’s list – unchanged from last year.

According to State Farm, the top five states for deer collisions are West Virginia, Montana, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Wisconsin.
