A woman is dead and two others have been injured after a single-vehicle crash on Highway 401 in Mississauga.

According to provincial police, the driver of a minivan lost control of the vehicle just after 9 p.m. on Friday just west of Winston Churchill Boulevard, causing it to roll over several times.

Police say two people were ejected from the minivan.

A 23-year-old Toronto woman has been pronounced dead while a 21-year-old man from Milton is being treated for critical injuries. An 18-year-old male driver from Milton suffered only minor injuries.

The investigation into what caused the crash is ongoing but police say speed was likely a factor.
