JOHNSTON, R.I. -- A driver died when his sport-utility vehicle rolled over after striking a deer on Route 295 at about 5 a.m. Friday, according to a statement from state police Capt. Dennis Fleming.
The driver, who state police are not identifying until his family is notified, was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the GMC SUV.
The crash happened on the southbound side of the highway, just south of Greenville Avenue. The SUV rolled over several times and came to rest on its passenger side.
