A fatal collision that occurred yesterday afternoon (August 16) has claimed the life of a 66 year old Cochrane woman.

Cochrane RCMP responded to a call around 1:30 pm on Lochend Road, just north of Twp Rd 262. 

The single vehicle involved is believed to have been travelling southbound on Lochend Road, when the driver lost control of the vehicle and entered the east ditch, coming to rest against a tree and fence.

RCMP say the 66 year old Cochrane female, and only occupant, was found deceased at the scene.

The name of the victim will not be released. 

RCMP are asking any witnesses to come forth and call the Cochrane detachment at 403-851-8000.
