The Gore Highway is closed as Forensic Crash Unit investigators begin the sad task of piecing together the moments that led to a motorist’s death.

A person has died in a head-on collision on the Gore Highway.

A man has died and a second has been hospitalised after a head-on collision on the Gore Highway at Southbrook.

A B-double truck collided with a car on the highway about 6. 45am, just north of Southbrook.

Several police, paramedics and firefighters units were called to the incident but they were unable to save the driver of the car.
