Police say a Vermont driver who was killed after colliding with a school bus on the Burlington Beltline appears to have hit a deer before crossing into the oncoming lane of the bus. Police said Wednesday that fresh hair from a deer was found in the left front quarter panel of the car driven by 56-year-old Gregory Burt of Colchester. Police did not find the deer. Police say a snow squall had just coated the Burlington beltline, also known as Vermont Route 127, with snow and ice, which could have contributed to the Monday crash. No one on the school bus was hurt.
