A 55-year-old woman has died after a collision between a cement truck and an SUV on Tuesday.

Emergency crews responded to the crash on Queens Line near the Highway 401 access ramp at 7:26 a.m.

The cement truck was westbound approaching the 401-access ramp when the vehicle veered into the eastbound traffic lane. The truck struck the SUV travelling eastbound, continued southbound through a ditch, and rested in a cornfield. The SUV spun into the southside ditch.

The 31-year-old male driver of the truck sustained minor injuries and was transported to the hospital. The 55-year-old female driver of the SUV was extricated and airlifted to the hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
