Deer-vehicle collision data for 23 states of the United States

Deer-vehicle collision data for 23 states of the USA, used in Cunningham et al (2022) "Permanent daylight saving time would reduce deer-vehicle collisions". Current Biology. Identical data provided as .rds and .csv formats. Data were provided by state Departments of Transportation or the Highway Safety Information System. The timing of collisions was either recorded exactly or in one-hour bins (centered). Data is at county-level resolution. "lat_CountyCentroid" and "long_CountyCentroid" refer to the centroid of a given county, whereas "Latitude" and "Longitude" denote the exact location of the collision (when provided). While we refer to the dataset as deer-vehicle collisions in the paper because >90% of reported collisions in the US are with deer, we note that a small proportion of collisions in this dataset are with species other than deer.
