Around 10 p.m., Peterborough County OPP and other first responders were called to the collision on Highway 7 at the 12th Line of Asphodel, about 5.5 kilometres east of the village of Norwood and 40 kilometres east of Peterborough.
An Ornge air ambulance was originally called to the scene but was later cancelled.
OPP say the investigation determined the westbound car had crossed the centre line and struck the eastbound tractor trailer.
The driver of the car was pronounced dead at the scene.
She has been identified as Rachelle Tamman, 35, of Port Perry, Ont.
The tractor-trailer driver was not injured. The Ministry of the Environment was contacted to clean up a diesel fuel leak.
