More on the State Farm report.
One in every 228 Illinois drivers will hit a deer this year, according to a State Farm analysis.
Illinois deer-car collisions are up 3 percent from five years ago, a slight uptick compared with the 18 percent increase in collisions around the country in that same time period, State Farm is reporting.
The insurance agency's research suggests that every 26 seconds in America, someone slams a deer with a vehicle.
Dick Luedke, State Farm spokesman, said the data didn't break out specifics for the Chicago metropolitan area.
Illinois drivers don't need to journey far to find themselves more likely to be in the path of one of the beasts.
Neighbors Michigan and Iowa are second and fourth on the State Farm list. Rounding out the top five places drivers are most likely to hit a deer are West Virginia (1), Pennsylvania (3) and Montana (5).
