The Bruce Highway was closed in all directions north of Maryborough after the serious head-on crash on Wednesday night.
Paramedics treated three patients at the scene of the two-vehicle crash which occurred at Torbanlea, 4km south of the Howard exit, about 8.30pm.
Police on Thursday released further details about the crash.
The 49-year-old woman killed in the crash was from Torbanlea, police said.
She died at the scene despite efforts from passers-by and emergency services.
The driver of the Kia Carnival, a 44-year-old woman, was transported to Hervey Bay Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
A 44-year-old male passenger of the Kia was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital via helicopter with serious injuries.
A QAS spokesman said two people were trapped in their vehicles following the crash.
Early indications were that the sedan, a Holden Stateman travelling in the southbound lanes, crossed on to the wrong side of the highway and collided with the other vehicle.
