BURLINGTON -- Police are seeking witnesses to a serious crash which claimed the life of a 45-year-old woman on Thanksgiving Day.

Halton police said the woman, whose identity has not been released, was involved in the crash shortly before 10 a.m.

She was a passenger in a pick up truck that collided with a dump truck at the intersection of Dundas Street and Appleby Line.

Emergency crews had to work through severe damage to the passenger side of the truck to remove the woman from the vehicle.

Police have released few details about the crash, but said the woman was airlifted from the scene to Hamilton General Hospital.

She later died from her injuries.

Police said another person in the truck also suffered serious injury. There is no word on the condition of the dump truck driver.

The intersection was closed for several hours yesterday as Halton’s Collision Reconstruction Unit investigated.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash to call Detective Constable Andy Dennis at 905-825-4747 ext. 2378.
