Darker commutes raise wildlife crash risk, study finds
Original: Darker commutes raise wildlife crash risk: study
A new study warns that commuting in the dark, especially during the shift to and from daylight saving time, increases the risk of collisions with wildlife such as deer. Reduced visibility on roads means drivers are more likely to hit animals during early morning and evening travel, and researchers urge extra caution in low-light hours.
Why now: The finding is timely as darker autumn and winter commutes put more drivers at risk of animal collisions.
