Waterloo Regional Police closed a stretch of roadway in Wilmot for several hours on Tuesday as they responded to a fatal two-vehicle collision.
It happened around 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of Nafziger Road and Berlett’s Road, south of Wellesley, as a Toyota sedan and Chevrolet sedan collided.
The driver of the Toyota was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. The individual has been identified as a 75-year-old Wellesley woman.
