A 21-year-old woman was killed this afternoon in a two-vehicle collision on Middle Road in Southampton near Heron Bay Primary School.

The woman was riding a motorcycle when she was involved in a collision with a Dunkley’s delivery truck.

She was rushed by ambulance to hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The accident happened just after 3pm, marking the eighth road fatality this year.
