About 7.20pm, the woman was traveling east on the road in a vehicle in a Mazda 2 at the same time a 40-year-old woman was travelling west in a Ford Falcon.

The 40-year-old woman’s vehicle then collided with the 19-year-old’s vehicle.

As a result of the crash, the 40-year-old woman was ejected from the vehicle.

The 19-year-old was trapped inside the vehicle until rescue officers arrived.

She was transported to John Hunter Hospital by helicopter in a critical condition and later died.

The 40-year-old woman was also transported to John Hunter Hospital in a serious but not life threatening condition, suffering injuries to her hip, ankle and rib.
