A Langwarrin woman died after a two-car collision on the Northern Hwy near Elmore earlier today.
The woman, 72, and a male passenger, 78, both of Langwarrin were travelling south on the Northern Hwy when the accident happened at 10.30am.
A truck, driven east by an Elmore man, 60, along the Runnymede School Rd crashed into the car, killing the woman.
