A Kitchener woman who suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash in Cambridge’s north end has died of those injuries.

The crash happened around 5:30 p.m. Monday at Hespeler and Maple Grove roads.

According to Waterloo Regional Police, the 25-year-old woman was driving northbound on Hespeler when she attempted to turn left onto Maple Grove.

As she did so, she crashed into a southbound transport truck being driven by a 27-year-old Bolton man.

She was taken to a trauma centre, and later succumbed to her injuries.

Due to the wishes of her family, police are not releasing her name.

The driver of the truck was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Police continue to investigate the crash, but alcohol and weather are not considered factors.
