RCSD Teacher Killed in Genesee County Car-Deer Crash

A Rochester City School District teacher is dead, after she hit a deer with her car this morning in Genesee County.

Deputies say it happened just after 7 on Route 19 in LeRoy.

58-year-old Judith Purdy was driving north, when the deer ran out in front of her car.

She was dead at the scene.

RCSD officials confirm Purdy was a teacher in the district for more than 20 years, most recently at Abraham Lincoln School #22.

Purdy was on her way to work when the accident happened.

Grief counselors will be on hand to support students, faculty, and staff.
