A police spokeswoman today said officers responded to reports of a crash, possibly involving two trucks and a ute, at the intersection of Gap Rd East and State Highway 6 about 1.25pm.
"Initial reports suggest there have been injuries," she said.
In an update about 9.35pm, police confirmed it was a three-vehicle crash, and that one person had died.
They said a scene examination had taken place and the road, which has been closed all afternoon and evening, would reopen last night.
An investigation is ongoing.
A St John spokesman earlier said two ambulances and a first response unit were sent.
It's the second fatal crash on southern roads in two days, after the 20-year-old driver of a ute was killed near Milburn on Sunday.
