“Her 38-year-old husband was treated for minor injuries and released,” authorities added. “Their daughter was airlifted to a Hamilton trauma centre as a precaution and was released from hospital the same night.”

The pickup driver, a 19-year-old man from Northern Ontario, remained at the scene and was not injured in the collision. It’s unclear at this time whether he will face charges.

Authorities have not publicly identified the driver, the victim or her family.

Police said an investigation into the circumstances of the crash is ongoing.

“There have been a lot of near misses at this intersection,” Joy Sammy, from the Guelph Junction Neighbourhood Group, told CTV News. “The fact that somebody lost their life — people have felt that really deeply.”

“It’s tragic and heartbreaking,” said parent Annica Napier, according to the outlet. “So many are deeply affected.”
