Woman dead after car rollover on Western Highway

A woman has died after the car she was a passenger in struck a barrier and rolled on the Western Freeway this morning.

Emergency services are currently on the scene of the single-vehicle crash at Gordon, after the accident just before 11.30am.

Police say it appears the car was travelling in the right lane westbound when the driver struck a barrier, causing the vehicle to roll onto its roof.

A female driver was airlifted to hospital with lower leg injuries.
