15 – 20 motorists die each year. Motor claims cost £31m

An average of 15 to 20 motorists die each year after hitting deer. A further 1,100 are seriously injured, with 700 getting less serious injuries, the Telegraph reports.

There are about 74,000 collisions a year. One insurer estimates that about 11,000 privately insured vehicles suffer "significant" damage in deer collisions in Britain each year, costing £14m.

Commercial vehicles add at least £17m, not including the cost of replacement vehicles and lost productivity.
