CBC
A woman is dead after her vehicle collided with a tractor southeast of Kensington on P.E.I.'s Route 2 Tuesday afternoon.
The accident happened about 4:10 p.m. in Summerfield near the intersection with Graham's Road, Route 8. Kensington Fire Department, Island EMS, and the RCMP responded.
"A car collided with a tractor hauling potato equipment," said RCMP Corp. Gavin Moore.
"Sadly, the driver of the car, the sole occupant, a 27-year-old Prince County woman, was pronounced deceased at the scene. Nobody else was injured."
Route 2 was closed for several hours for the investigation. RCMP said it appears the woman's vehicle drove into the tractor while it was making a left turn across the road.
The accident follows two traffic fatalities over the weekend, and brings to the number of deaths on P.E.I. roads this year to 13.
There are five things in particular Island drivers should focus on to stay safe on the road, said Moore.
