Hamilton police say a 23-year-old woman is the city’s 12th traffic fatality of 2020 following a collision on Friday near Upper James Street and Rymal Road.
Investigators say the woman succumbed to her injuries in hospital on Tuesday, days after a crash involving a Ford Focus sedan and a Honda Odyssey minivan sometime around 9 p.m. at an intersection on the mountain.
It’s believed the minivan was travelling southbound on Upper James at the same time a Ford Focus sedan was travelling northbound on the same roadway, according to detectives.
Police say the vehicles smashed into each other, resulting in two occupants from the sedan having to be transported to the hospital for further medical treatment.
The driver of the Focus, a 26-year-old man from Cambridge, is still in hospital recovering from injuries.

Police have not released the name of the 23-year-old victim out of respect for the family.
