The cause of the collision remains under investigation, but police said it occurred when an eastbound car coming over the nearby train overpass struck the middle of a 53-foot trailer that was being hauled by a farm tractor. The tractor had been pulling onto the roadway from Troops and was turning to head westbound on Glendon, police said.
The lone occupant of the vehicle, identified Friday as Rachel Joris, 26, of Mount Brydges, was extricated from the vehicle and was rushed to hospital where she was pronounced deceased, police said.
Investigation into the crash is ongoing, and police ask anyone with information to contact them at 519-245-1250 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
