Victim of 40 car pile-up identified

A Barrie woman has been identified as the victim of a 40 car pile-up on Highway 11, between Oro-Medonte Lines 8 and 9.  

Connie Ward, 22, died when after she was struck by another vehicle when she got out of her car, police said.

Ontario Provincial Police constable Peter Leon told 680News – in a crash that’s something they don’t advise people to do.

“She was driving a vehicle and again, the message that the O.P.P. are certainly trying to get through to people is we don’t want anyone exiting their vehicles when they get involved in a collision,” he said.

Four other people suffered minor injuries in the pile-up, which started in white out conditions, Friday morning.

Highway 11 was reopened just after 6 p.m., Friday evening.
