One of the drivers, a 74-year-old employee with parcel and freight company StarTrack, suffered critical injuries.
Nothing could be done to save her and she died at the scene.
The other driver, a man aged 38, received minor injuries and is being treated at Royal Perth Hospital.
No one inside the office building was injured, but workers were evacuated following the incident.
Australia Post, which owns StarTrack, said it is “deeply saddened” at the death of their team member.
“We are focused on supporting her family and workmates, and our thoughts and condolences are with them at this difficult time,” the mail service said in a statement.
Fire crews, including specialist teams, were called in to hold the two vehicles in place until they could be hauled out with a crane.
“It is a complex situation when vehicles leave the road and impact other structures so this is going to be a drawn out process,” incident controller Gareth Deeg said.
Structural assessments will be undertaken on Monday to make sure the building is safe.
Drivers were urged to avoid the area, with Hay St closed westbound at George St for hours.
The intersection and off-ramp was reopened after the crash was cleared, Main Roads said at 12.30pm.
Major Crash detectives are investigating and have appealed for witnesses to come forward to Crime Stoppers with information or dash-cam footage.
