A 27-year-old woman died after she was "ejected" from a car that rolled over on a highway ramp in Vaughan on Sunday night.*

According to Ontario Provincial Police, the car rolled over on the Highway 427 southbound ramp to eastbound Highway 407.

The OPP's Highway Safety Division said the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, who police shared was 22 years old, was taken to a trauma hospital for surgery.

The identities of the driver and of the deceased haven't been shared yet with the public.

The ramp had been closed off but was reopened at around 6:25 a.m. on Monday morning, according to OPP GTA Traffic.

UPDATE: According to provincial police, the ramp where the single-vehicle rollover collision took place is a "270-degree turn to the right" and has an advisory speed limit of 30 km/h.

"The vehicle entered that ramp, [the] driver was unable to negotiate that corner [and] the vehicle collided with the concrete wall on the left side of the ramp. The vehicle mounted that wall and then tumbled down the embankment down toward Steeles Avenue," OPP Sergeant Kerry Schmidt shared in a video update posted to Twitter.

The driver is still at the hospital getting treated for his injuries.

"We are looking into speed, alcohol and lack of occupant restraints as all contributing factors in this collision in this situation," Schmidt said.
