Traffic was stopped in the area of 17th Street south of Petroleum Way shortly before 7 a.m. waiting for a train to pass. Police say a Volkswagen Jetta was stopped in traffic. The driver then reportedly attempted to make a U-turn across two lanes of traffic when it was struck by a truck.
The Jetta was hit in the front passenger door causing extensive damage to both vehicles.
The 20-year-old female passenger of the Jetta died at the scene.
The 25-year-old male driver of the Jetta and the 21-year-old male driver of the truck were both taken to an Edmonton hospital with minor injuries.
