A 34-year-old woman has been killed in a head-on crash on Vancouver Island after witnesses told police her vehicle crossed the centre line into oncoming traffic.

West Shore RCMP say the crash happened on Sunday at about 4:10 p.m. on Sooke Road in Langford in the Greater Victoria area.

A statement from police says witnesses told officers that a grey Hyundai Elantra was travelling westbound when it crossed the centre line and collided with a white Toyota Avalon.

The victim, the driver of the Hyundai, died at the scene.

Police say the two occupants of the Toyota suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospital.
