A woman from Wetaskiwin died in hospital three days after being involved in a collision near her central Alberta community.
RCMP said the crash happened Saturday afternoon on Highway 2A, just south of Wetaskiwin. Police were called at 1:25 p.m. to a single-vehicle crash.
Mounties said a silver Chevrolet Cobalt car driving north on the highway left the road and went through a barbed wire fence.
The car collided with a semi-trailer parked in a field, causing the 35-year-old woman driving it to be thrown from the vehicle. She was alone in the car.
