It happened around 4:30 a.m. at the corner of Sargent Avenue and Empress Street.
Police said the woman and a 45-year-old man, also in the vehicle, were taken to hospital. The man was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The other vehicle involved was described as a late model dark-coloured Dodge Caravan. Police said everyone in that vehicle fled the scene on foot. Investigators also believe the vehicle had been speeding before the crash.
