Moose Crashes in Maine

• About 600 crashes with moose occur each year in Maine, resulting in several fatalities and about 200 injuries. With moose weighing up to 1500 pounds and standing 10 feet tall, collisions often knock out their thin legs, causing the moose to crush the passenger compartment.
• Moose crashes can happen anywhere in the state.
• 80% of moose crashes and 90% of fatal crashes occur when it’s dark.

You may feel you can take a relaxed approach during nighttime's lower traffic volume, but it's then that it's vital that you SLOW DOWN and PAY ATTENTION!

And remember to always fasten your safety belt!
