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.
