Fatal Crash on Highway 17

A Mississauga woman is dead following a 2-vehicle collision on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Dryden.
OPP say a westbound car and an eastbound pickup truck collided yesterday afternoon near the Highway 622 junction.  Both vehicles were sent off the road and struck a rock cut.  The driver of the car, 45-year-old Kaneez Zehra, died as a result of the crash.  The driver of the truck was transported to Dryden Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.  The collision forced the complete closure of the Highway for 5-hours.  The cause is under investigation.
