A Southold car accident leaves one man dead and another injured when the car they were traveling in strikes a utility pole after making an attempt to avoid a deer. The incident took place at approximately 4:00 AM on Saturday morning, February 27, 2010, on North Road just east of Boisseau Avenue.
According to Southold Police, Terrence Lawrence, 29, of Greenport, was driving a 1999 Infiniti along North Road when he swerved in order to avoid a deer. He reportedly lost control of his car, left the roadway and slammed into a utility pole.

However, Lawrence’s passenger did not fair so well. Corey Freeman, 23, also of Greenport, was transported to Eastern Long Island Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
