Police have confirmed that a woman killed in a crash near Taralga this morning was from Goulburn.
Inspector Matt Hinton said the 37-year-old was travelling north, 5km north of the town, when her Toyota Hilux utility left the road, rolled several times and landed on its roof.
There were no witnesses to the crash.
However Inspector Hinton said two or three people arrived on the scene soon after and rendered first aid. Despite their best efforts, the woman died at the scene.
The cause of the crash has not been established at this stage. Detectives and crime scene police are investigating.
The woman's family has been notified.
Inspector Hinton urged people to take care in rural areas.
"Country roads are quite dangerous and ever changing and people need to take time, be patient and get to (their destinations) in the safest possible way," he said.

A woman has died following a single-vehicle crash near Taralga.
Emergency services were called to the scene, some 5km north of Taralga and 50km from Goulburn at about 9.15am Saturday.
Police said a Toyota Hilux utility left the road and rolled into a paddock.
A motorist saw the vehicle and rendered aid to the driver before NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived. Despite their efforts, she died at the scene a short time later.
The woman is yet to be formally identified but is believed to be aged in her thirties.
Officers from The Hume Police District established a crime scene and commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.
Meantime, emergency services were also called to a crash on Binda Road, north of Crookwell at the same time.
Police said a 66-year-old Helensburgh man lost control of his vehicle and careered off the road after a dog ran out on to the road. He had to be cut free from the car and was airlifted to Canberra Hospital with chest and neck pain.
The crash, about 1km south of Binda, occurred in the same area as a two-vehicle collision on Saturday, December 7.
A 62-year-old woman from Flinders was killed. She was a passenger in a Toyota Landcruiser when a collision occurred with a Mazda, also being driven north by a 28-year-old Braddon woman. She sustained minor injuries.
