Animal collisions cost American car owners, including fleet businesses, upwards of $3.5 billion annually, but an Australian company is moving to stem the tide of damage, injuries and dollars drained from the pockets of U.S. drivers.

Originally designed to reduce the rate of collisions with kangaroos Down Under, Australian company ShuRoo is bringing its latest unit, the 2013 Mk IV ShuRoo, to the US market and says it is a major leap forward in animal collision prevention technology.
