A driver is dead following a serious collision in Georgina, Ont., that investigators believe began when the driver of a sedan struck a deer on a rural roadway.
York Regional Police (YRP) told CityNews officers were called to the area of Ravenshoe Road and Miles Road shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday for reports of a serious crash.
When emergency crews arrived, they found a pickup truck with severe front-end damage. The driver of the pickup was pronounced dead at the scene.
