TORONTO, ON – A woman was killed in a rear-end crash with a semi-truck between Ajax and Whitby early Monday, according to CTV News.

Police say a car was heading east on Highway 401 near Lake Ridge Road at about 8:45 a.m. when it slowed for unspecified reasons and was rear-ended by the semi-truck. The initial impact caused the trailer to separate from the truck’s cab, spilling debris across the roadway.

Paramedics rushed the driver of the car, an unidentified 25-year-old woman, to an area hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries later on.
