Gives you an idea of how wild some parts of this country still are, huh?

Elk aren't the only animals that can cause backups while crossing roads, and things can get a whole lot worse than a "backup." Major damage, serious injury, and even worse, death are a real risk when driving through areas heavily populated with deer, elk, or moose.
