A 61-year-old Hamilton woman has died after a two-vehicle crash in Burlington Wednesday evening.
In an update posted on Twitter, Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said emergency crews were called at around 9:30 p.m. after two vehicles collided on the westbound lanes of the QEW at Guelph Line.
Schmidt said police received reports that one of the vehicles was travelling at a high rate of speed before the crash. He said the female driver of that vehicle was taken to hospital in critical condition where she later died.
The collision reconstruction team was called in to investigate the circumstances leading up to the crash.
The westbound lanes of the QEW were closed for several hours as officers investigated.
