Canadian woman has hit three moose in ten months

An eastern Newfoundland woman, who has collided with three moose since May 2010, is calling on the provincial government to do more to keep the large animals off the province's highways.

"The numbers are increasing obviously. I see them quite often coming and going from work," said Patricia Regular of Harbour Grace.



"The sides of the roads should be cleared so we can see them coming and there should be more moose hunting licences issued to reduce [moose] numbers on the highways."

Regular has written off two cars, but luckily she hasn't been seriously injured. Regular, who has suffered a stiff neck and "a few raw nerves," said all three accidents happened on her way to and from her job in Clarke's Beach.
