Despite the best efforts of emergency services and hospital staff, she passed away on Friday night.

The other driver was assessed by ACT Ambulance Service paramedics and transported to hospital.

The road was closed Southbound for a number of hours while the Road Policing Major Collision Team attended the scene and conducted an investigation of the circumstances into the collision.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
