A 41-year-old woman was killed in a head-on collision near Deacon's Corner, at the intersection of Hwy 1 and Hwy 207, Thursday evening.

Just after 7:30 p.m. RCMP say her northbound Suzuki Swift collided with a southbound Oldsmobile cutlass.

The woman was rushed to hospital but died of her injuries.

The two occupants of the Oldsmobile, an 18-year-old female driver and a 17-year-old female passenger, were treated for minor injuries and released.
