DENVER -- The Colorado Department of Transportation is warning drivers to be especially aware of wildlife on roadways this time of year.

Over the past ten years, CDOT has seen an average of 3,300 reported wildlife vs. vehicle collisions each year, and those numbers tend to spike during fall migration season.

"As Colorado has an abundance of deer and elk, as well as other wildlife, that live near our urban and rural areas, motorists need to be aware that they can cross our roads without warning at most any time of day or night," said Colorado State Patrol Chief Colonel James Wolfinbarger.
