Emergency workers had to cut the woman out of her car, a process that takes about a half hour, Asselin confirmed.

When she emerged, she had serious injuries and was sent to the Hôpital du Suroît in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, where she was declared dead.

The woman was the only person in the car, and no other vehicles were implicated in the accident.

Asselin could not confirm whether the road was icy, or if the woman was wearing her seat belt.
