Police have confirmed one woman has tragically died in a two-car accident on Industrial Drive just before 11:30 this morning.
A 66-year-old Medowie man from the same vehicle has been taken to John Hunter Hospital after being trapped for a short period of time.
The second vehicle contained a 31-year-old male who has suffered serious injuries and has been taken to John Hunter as well.
Industrial Drive eastbound lanes remain completely closed as well as one westbound lane. Motorists heading to Newcastle are advised to use the Pacific Highway while traffic coming from Stockton and Nelson Bay should use Tomago Road.
Emergency services, police crash investigators and traffic incident response crews currently remain on the site.
Both drivers will undergo mandatory blood and urine testing in line with the legislation.
