A woman was killed when her car was coming off the entrance ramp on the Edens expressway and was struck by a semi-truck. The accident happend near the Foster Avenue exit in the morning of January 17, 2007. The woman was in her 30s and was taken to Stein Institute. She was pronounced dead approximately four hours after the accident occurred.

There has been no information as to who was at fault in the accident. Large semi-trucks are often a problem for drivers because of the high speeds these trucks are traveling at and their inability to slow down or stop as quickly as they may need to in order to avoid an accident. Lack of visibility also often plagues truck drivers' abilities to see cars that are changing lanes while on the highway.
