A man has been charged with dangerous driving occasioning death after four people died in a two-vehicle crash on the NSW central coast.

At about 9.20pm on Friday, emergency services were called to the Newell Highway, Tomingley, about 35km south of Dubbo, to find a Toyota Hilux utility and a Toyota Hiace van had collided.

Two men in the ute, aged 19 and 18, and a man and a woman in the van, both aged 57, died at the scene, police said.

A 23-year-old man who was driving the ute was taken to Dubbo Hospital with suspected leg injuries.

On being discharged on Monday he was charged with four counts of dangerous driving occasioning death, driving in a dangerous manner, not wearing a seatbelt properly fastened and driving with passenger seatbelts not properly fastened.

The man was given conditional bail to appear before Dubbo Local Court on October 21.

Police said all of those involved in the accident were locals from the greater central west region 

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
