A single-vehicle rollover in Perth East late yesterday afternoon claimed the life of a woman from Mississauga.
It was at the intersection of Perth Road 119 and Perth Line 56, known as the Topping Curve, south of Millbank.
A preliminary OPP report determined that a car travelling west bound on Perth Line 56 approached Perth Road 119. The vehicle failed to negotiate a slight curve on Perth Line 56 and entered a grassy area before crossing Road 119 and striking a culvert on the south side of the road. The vehicle came to rest on its roof.
The lone female driver was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries. 86-year-old Joan Windeler of Mississauga died in hospital a short time later.
Traffic was diverted around the scene and the intersection was closed until about 10:30 last night. The OPP investigation continues.
