The man killed when a deer struck by another vehicle was thrown into his Jeep on a highway northwest of the city yesterday has been identified as a 62-year-old Brampton resident.

William Connor was driving northbound on Highway 10, just north of 20th Sideroad in Mono, when a southbound vehicle struck a deer that ran onto the road just before 7 a.m., Ontario Provincial Police said.

The impact sent the deer flying into oncoming traffic where it went through Connor's windshield, police said.

He was taken to hospital in nearby Orangeville where he was pronounced dead. The driver of the first vehicle was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

This was the 128th car-versus-deer collision to be investigated by the Dufferin OPP detachment this year.

Exactly what I was thinking.

All those people who are against hunting. It will catch up to them sooner or later.

And the reason they won;t is BECAUSE it was not them!!!!

128th by Dufferin alone - man that's a crap load. One every few days. Who knows how many don't get reported.

Why are you coming down on landowners for this?

Not on ALL landowners, just the ones that complain about crop damage, and who refuse to have hunters help them solve the problem, but expect government subsidies.
