An 85-year-old woman has died after a collision Tuesday morning in Ajax.

Durham Regional Police responded to a call for a collision between a sedan and a pickup truck just before noon in the intersection of Westney Rd. and Millington Cres.

They say that witnesses reported a silver Hyundai had been in the middle of making a left turn from Millington Cres. onto Westney Rd. when it was struck by a northbound Chevrolet pickup truck.

The 85-year-old woman was the driver of the Hyundai. First aid was rendered by emergency services, but it was unsuccessful, and she was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The 42-year-old driver of the pickup truck, who had only sustained minor injuries, remained on scene to cooperate with police.

The road was initially closed for the investigation. The cause has not been ascertained yet, and no charges have been laid. Police are asking anyone with information to speak to them.
