A woman has been killed in a horrific crash on the Bruce Highway north of Gympie.

The 41-year-old was travelling with a 7-year-old girl southbound in Chatsworth around 3.45pm Friday, when the vehicle collided with a Ford Ranger towing a caravan which was travelling northbound.

The woman from Tinana died at the scene, while the child was taken to Gympie Hospital with minor injuries.

The driver of the Ranger, a 76-year-old Valdora man, was taken to Gympie Hospital with minor injuries and his passenger, a 72-year-old Valdora woman, was transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a serious condition with chest injuries.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the circumstances of the crash.

Investigators are appealing to anyone with information or relevant dashcam footage, including of the MG travelling south along the Bruce Highway around the time of the collision to come forward.
