People travelling on roads across Cornwall have been warned to keep an eye out for deer straying into their paths, a national news source has reported.

According to the BBC, between February 2007 and January 2008 there were 30 of the animals killed in accidents.

Those who are involved in accidents involving animals might find that they pick up more expensive car and bike insurance policies in the future.

It could be that this is due to cover firms judging them to be representative of more of a risk on highways due to such collisions.

Commenting to the national news source, PC Martin Staley remarked that motorists should be kept on their guard at all times if they are to avoid the problem.

"Most of these incidents occur between dusk and dawn and could happen anywhere, on major or minor roads and I would urge drivers to take extra care and to be aware that deer may jump into the road," said the official.

There are six different types of deer inhabiting the wildlife across the UK. These include Sika, muntjac, fallow, roe, red and Chinese water deer.
