A woman has died in a two-vehicle crash which closed northbound lanes of the Hume Highway north of Goulburn on Monday morning.

Emergency services were called to Boxers Creek, about 10 kilometres north-east of Goulburn, about 6.45am, after a northbound utility and a hatchback, travelling in the same direction, collided.

A woman driving the hatchback suffered critical injuries and died at the scene.

A man driving the utility was not injured and was taken to Goulburn Hospital for mandatory testing.

All lanes of the Hume Highway have been re-opened following the crash.

Emergency services also responded to another crash five kilometres north of Goulburn later in the morning.

RFS Southern Tablelands operational officer, Mitchell Butler, said a truck and a car had collided on the Hume Highway at 11.40am at Carrick, some 15 kilometres north of Goulburn. It is in the northbound lane outside the entry to the Divall's quarry.

A woman, aged between 70 and 80, who was driving the car, was conscious and breathing and was out of the vehicle. A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said she was uninjured.

No details are available at this stage on the truck driver.
