The statement goes on to say the family would like privacy as they deal with their loss, and a further announcement will be made after her funeral.

Curtola, an iconic 1960s Canadian pop star, is known for many songs including Hand in Hand With You and Fortune Teller.

A 68-year-old man who was also involved in yesterday’s collision was taken to hospital and suffered non-life threatening injuries.

RCMP say yesterday’s bad weather was a likely factor in the three-vehicle crash.
