Police have identified the deceased only as a 68-year-old woman, and say she was a passenger in one of the vehicles involved. The vehicle’s driver, a 71-year-old man, remained in hospital in serious condition late Monday afternoon, as did the 57-year-old male driver of the other vehicle.
Police said the three were the only occupants in the vehicles.
“At this time we don’t believe weather’s an issue, however, it’s still being investigated,” Kalita added.
