The incident happened at Junction 5 at around 11.30am.

The woman, who was aged in her 30s and the driver of a car, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of a second car, a man in his 50s, was injured in the incident. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

A third car and a lorry were also damaged in the collision.

The slip road from the M50 northbound at Junction 5 was closed to traffic for some time.
