It’s understood the woman who died was the front seat passenger in a red Toyota Yaris vehicle which collided with black Volkswagen Passat at around 6.40pm.

Police say the driver of the Yaris is in a critical condition while two rear passengers sustained injuries that are not thought to be life threatening at present.

The two male occupants of the Passat were taken to hospital but have since been treated and released.
