Images of a ‘vehicle of interest’ are being released to the public by OPP following the death of a woman on Hwy. 401 in Mississauga.
The woman, identified by police Tuesday as Rosario L. Parchamento, 62, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A funeral for Parchamento is being held Saturday, Sept. 24 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church, with visitation and burial at Glen Oaks Funeral Home, both in Oakville.
The driver, a 66-year-old Mississauga man, was airlifted to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Police say another vehicle “had some interaction with the SUV” prior to the crash.

As a result, the driver of the SUV lost control and entered the grass median where it rolled over before coming to rest, said OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt.
The second vehicle is described as a silver four-door sedan with a sunroof.
Police are looking to speak with the driver.
Anyone with information is asked to phone the Port Credit detachment at (905) 278-6131.
