A tragic collision on Highway 401 in Milton Saturday morning has claimed the life of a 40-year-old woman from Cambridge.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) report that the two-vehicle crash occurred shortly after 10 a.m. in the eastbound lanes near James Snow Parkway. Preliminary investigation indicates that a passenger vehicle struck a guide rail and came to a stop when it was then rear-ended by an eastbound pickup truck.

The four occupants of the pickup truck were not injured.

Police have not yet released the identity of the victim, pending notification of next of kin.
