The incident took place around 12 p.m. File / Global News

A 74-year-old woman that was injured when two cars collided outside a shopping centre in southeast Calgary last month has died.

Calgary police said the woman was travelling in the back of a Toyota Rav4 which was exiting Heritage Towne Centre onto Railway Street S.E. when it struck a Honda Accord just after 1 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2017.

The 74-year-old, who was one of three woman in the car, was taken to hospital at the time for precautionary reasons. Police said she died on Sunday as a result of her injuries.

Police did not say in a media statement Tuesday whether the other women or the 31-year-old man driving the Accord were injured.

Police believe inclement weather and poor driving conditions were a factor in the crash.

Investigators say alcohol, drugs and speed did not contribute.
