There have been hundreds of animal related car crashes in Marion County in the past decade.
New data released by the Iowa Department of Transportation shows the majority of those incidents were reported along the most heavily traveled roads in the county, with the highest volume on State Highways 5, 14, 92, and 163. No fatalities related to these types of accidents were reported and very few caused injuries from 2004 to 2013. Earlier this month, the Iowa DOT released ten years of car accident data with a new website.
