Emergency crews are at the scene of a fatal crash in southeast Calgary where a vehicle went off the road and crashed into a gravel pile.

Officials say a car was northbound on Deerfoot Trail when it lost control and crashed through a fence at the Lafarge plant near Anderson Road.

The car struck a gravel pile and came to a stop.

EMS confirm that one person, a woman in her 30s, has died as a result.

The northbound lanes of Deerfoot Trail at Southland Drive S.E. were closed for a short time to assist in the investigation.

They have since reopened.

The name of the victim is not being released.
