Police have been told a blue hatchback driven by a 24-year-old female learner licence holder, being supervised by a 28-year-old man with two other passengers, a 27-year-old woman and an 11-month-old baby girl - were involved in a head-on crash with a light brown 4WD driven by a 67-year-old man with a 64-year-old female passenger.
The 67-year-old man died at the scene.
The 64-year-old woman was airlifted to Westmead Hospital in a serious, but stable, condition.
The driver of the hatchback, and the 27-year-old passenger, were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Dubbo Base Hospital with minor injuries.
