Moose-Vehicle Collisions in Northern Michigan
A recent incident involving a female moose being killed by a vehicle in Northern Michigan has raised concerns about the surge in moose-vehicle collisions in the region.
The female moose was raising two calves when it was fatally struck by a vehicle on U.S. 141 in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula. This incident is one of 60 reported cases of deadly vehicle-moose collisions over the past four years.
Fortunately, no human fatalities have been reported in these collisions. However, the incidents pose a challenge to Michigan's efforts to boost its moose population in the western Upper Peninsula, which has remained stagnant for the past 20 years.
A dead bull moose is shown in the grass along an Upper Peninsula highway after a moose-vehicle crash.
The cause of the stagnant moose population in the region remains a mystery, and the frequent moose-vehicle collisions are likely to exacerbate the issue.
