Waterloo regional police said a 22-year-old woman has died after an early morning collision in Woolwich Township on Saturday.
Around 9 a.m., police said officers responded to the area of Bridge Street East and Ebycrest Road for a report of a single motor vehicle collision.
“Through the initial investigation, it was determined that a Mini Cooper was travelling west on Bridge Street East when it left the roadway and struck a snowbank and a hydro wire before coming to a stop in a wooded area,” police said in a news release.
The driver, a 22-year-old female from Mississauga, was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced deceased, according to police.
Bridge Street East was closed for several hours for the investigation and repair work by hydro crews.
