Emergency services, including a rescue helicopter, responded to a crash involving a red Holden Commodore and a red Honda Jazz along Karrabin Rosewood Road and Stirling Road at Thagoona, 60km west of Brisbane, at about 4.30pm.
The driver of the Honda Jazz, a 78-year-old woman, died at the scene.
The driver of the Holden Commodore, a 19-year-old woman, was flown to Princess Alexandra Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman earlier said a rescue helicopter landed at the scene with two female patients treated and that the younger woman was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with life-threatening head and leg injuries.
A Queensland Fire Department spokeswoman on Saturday said no extractions were needed, with one crew on the scene assisting to make the area safe.
