A 53-year-old woman from Millville, near Nortondale, who was the sole occupant of the SUV, was taken to hospital but later died from her injuries, the RCMP reported, while the pickup driver sustained minor injuries.
An RCMP traffic reconstructionist attended the scene as well and is assisting with the ongoing investigation, police said, noting that an autopsy will be conducted to determine the woman’s exact cause of death.
