A woman is dead and a man is fighting for his life in hospital after their SUV collided with a tractor trailer on Highway 401 in Mississauga early Tuesday morning.
OPP say sometime before 4 a.m., the SUV and truck collided in the eastbound express lanes of the 401 east of Dixie Road.
Sergeant Kerry Schmidt said the SUV crashed into the back of the tractor trailer.
A female passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, while a male driver in the vehicle was taken to hospital in critical condition.
Schmidt said the eastbound express lanes are closed at Mississauga Road to allow for the cleanup and investigation.
The ramp from the 403 Freeway to the eastbound express lanes of the 401 Freeway is also closed.
Schmidt said drivers should expect the area to remain closed for most of the morning.
