and two of them diedoftei
juries. Seventy percent of tail

cial injuries, and 26 percentte
vere spine injuries.
Sutton said most mooswi
accidents demolish the car are
the moose. Moose have non?,
predators in northern New E(|i
and don’t run from a car's!*
lights. They can also grow im
feet high and weigh morel
1,200 pounds.
