Two people in the Nissan died at the scene.

They are yet to be formally identified.

A 42-year-old man, a 43-year-old woman, and two children, aged eight and nine, were all treated by paramedics on the scene.

All four were then taken to John Hunter Hospital for further treatment.

The truck driver was uninjured and was taken to Manning Base Hospital for mandatory testing.
