STATE OF MAINE

STATEWIDE ANIMAL CRASHES

2011 - 2015

Preface

This publication is a statistical review of reported motor vehicle crashes that involved animals in Maine dur-

ing the five-year study period 2011 - 2015. The statistics are compiled from crash reports submitted to the

Department of Transportation by the Traffic Division, Department of Public Safety. The Traffic Division

receives all police uniform crash reports Form 13:20 A, from state, county and local police agencies.

The enclosed charts, graphs, listings and summaries were produced using the Department of Transportation’s

Computerized Crash Records System. Except for adjustments to locations and crash-type information for

accuracy, no attempt has been made to modify the raw data received from the reporting agencies. However,

because crash scenes are often dangerous and chaotic, some inaccuracies in data collection are possible.

A comparison of this report with other summaries of crashes and fatalities may also reveal inconsistencies

due to changes in crash classification, late submittals, and differing reporting criteria.

The Department of Transportation and the Department of Public Safety wish to express our sincere thank

you to all law enforcement agencies and officers for the work they do on crash investigations. Without their

dedication, this report would not be possible.

We welcome your comments and suggestions on this report at:
