A young child was airlifted to CHEO after the crash.

On Monday, the OPP said the one-year-old girl died on Sunday morning.

A three-year-old girl was treated for "minor scrapes and bruises," according to the OPP. The driver of one of the vehicles remains in critical but stable condition in hospital.

The OPP said over the weekend it continued to investigate the collision.
