"Officers from Central West Police District attended and found the driver of a sedan – a 36-year-old woman – had died at scene."
The passengers of the sedan – two girls aged 8 and 11 – were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics and taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The driver of the ute – a 35-year-old man – was freed from his vehicle by Fire and Rescue NSW and treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before he was transported to Royal North Shore Hospital in a critical condition.
