Since the beginning of the year on the roads of the Tula region shot down more than 270 animals
In the first nine months of 2026, 275 wild animals were hit by cars on Tula highways
During the nine months of 2026, 275 wild animals were hit by cars on Tula highways. This was reported by the regional traffic police.
As a result of such incidents, five people were injured.
As noted in the department, attacks on animals often occur in the dark - in the evening or at night, when the beast unexpectedly appears on the road, and visibility leaves much to be desired.
You should be especially careful in the autumn. At this time, moose races begin: males look for a mate and behave aggressively, so they can unexpectedly run out onto the road.
Earlier, “MK in Tula” reported that the driver, not road services, will pay for the moose shot down on the road. According to the expert of the Federation of car owners of Russia Vyacheslav Ashurkov, the amount of compensation is considered according to the established taxes. If the animal is red-book or apply increasing coefficients, the compensation may be much higher.
