Saskatchewan saw 9,053 wildlife collisions in 2024, prompting safety warnings for drivers.

Saskatchewan is experiencing a rise in wildlife-vehicle collisions as moose, deer, and elk become more active during breeding season, with 9,053 incidents reported in 2024, including 366 injuries and four fatalities. Officials from SGI and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation urge drivers to stay alert, reduce speed, use headlights, and watch for animals, especially at dawn and dusk. They warn that one animal crossing may be followed by others and recommend maintaining safe following distances and avoiding sudden swerves. A separate incident in Newfoundland on November 1, 2025, involved a moose collision where a driver was charged for operating a vehicle while disqualified, without insurance, and with defective tires. Authorities are seeking dash cam footage and public tips.
