A woman has died following a serious crash in Emu Plains.
About 7.15pm yesterday, emergency services were called to the M4 at Emu Plains after a black Toyota Prado left the road and collided with a pylon.
The male driver and his female passenger – both aged 37 – were treated at the scene before they were airlifted to Westmead Hospital.
The woman died a short time ago.
The man remains in a critical condition.
