The occupants of the second car left immediately following the assault and police are urgently to locate them.
The car is believed to be a black BMW sedan with registration CTC411 and should not be approached, police said.
A local resident was passing by the intersection just after 7pm and saw at least 10 police officers at the scene and helicopters circling above.
“They had a police tent up, and were wheeling a body through on a stretcher.
“It looked like they were removing the body from the scene and starting their investigation,” he said.
Several roads are closed and drivers are being asked to follow the directions of emergency services staff at the scene.
