A woman was killed in a two-car collision on Pacific Highway at Chinderah on Sunday afternoon.
Police say emergency services were called to the scene at around around 12.20pm but the woman died at the scene.
The motorway and Tweed Valley Way had been closed near the onramp.
Diversions have since been lifted, however heavy northbound traffic continued on the Pacific Motorway and Tweed Coast Road into Sunday evening.
Officers from the Crash Investigation Unit will investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
