Police are investigating the circumstances of a vehicle crash leading to the death of a young woman on the southwestern motorway early this morning.
At 3.24am Police were advised that a car had crashed on the southwestern motorway.
Tragically a 19-year-old woman was confirmed deceased at the scene.
A 20-year-old man is assisting Police with their enquiries.
Police are working to build a picture of what took place prior to the crash.
An examination of the crash scene is ongoing and the road remains closed while this takes place, although it is expected to be open shortly.
We understand the road closure will cause disruption and officers are working hard to complete the scene examination as quickly as possible so the road can be reopened.
