Charges laid in connection to crash that killed woman in southeast London, Ont.

Two men and one woman have been charged after allegedly fleeing police in a stolen pickup truck on Wednesday, resulting in a crash that killed a 62-year-old woman.

According to the London Police Service (LPS), shortly after 2:20 a.m. on Wednesday, police located a stolen pickup in the area of King Edward Avenue and Russell Avenue.

Police said the suspect vehicle fled from police and officers later located the pickup in the area of Adelaide Street and Thompson Road, where it had collided with another vehicle.

An occupant in the uninvolved civilian vehicle was pronounced deceased at the scene, and has since been identified as 62-year-old Colleen Slota of St. Thomas, Ont.

Officers later located a woman allegedly involved in the incident, and she was taken into custody by members of the LPS Uniformed Division.
