About 10pm, Bridgewater Police responded to the incident and Crime Scene Examiners and Crash Investigators attended.
The 19-year-old driver, and the other two occupants of the vehicle, were not injured and remained at the scene.
An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death has commenced and a report is being prepared for the coroner.
Police are asking people to come forward with information about the fatality, particularly if anyone witnessed a woman walking along the Brooker Highway between Claremont and the Midland Highway from 8pm-10pm.
The woman was wearing a black top, blue jeans, black sneakers and had a black suitcase with her.
"Police would also like to talk to anyone who may have given the woman a lift in their vehicle during this time," Senior Sergeant Jason Klug said.
