Alabama sees an average of 2,242 animal-vehicle collisions each year, according to the Federal Highway Administration. In Auburn and Opelika, wildlife can appear anywhere, but be especially vigilant in wooded areas and near waterways.
Tips for Safe Driving:
- Scan the road from side to side.
- Avoid distractions while driving.
- If you see an animal, brake but stay in your lane.
If you find yourself in an animal-vehicle accident, contact the Auburn Police Department—dial 911 in emergencies or use the non-emergency line at 334-501-3100.
