Extrication equipment was too late to save a 47 year-old woman trapped enroute to Ottawa Christmas morning.
Ottawa Fire received reports of a trapped person in a vehicle and commenced extrication at 09:20AM.
The single vehicle accident happened on Highway 417, between the Carp and Palladium Drive exits.
The woman, lone occupant of the car, was pronounced dead at the scene.
It appeared the car had left the highway while headed east, rolled and landed on its roof at the median.
The Ottawa Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) along with Collisions experts reduced traffic to one lane in the vicinity for several hours to complete their investigation.
The victim’s name has not been released.
