Police have charged two men in relation to a car accident at West Gosford in which two other people were seriously injured.
Emergency services were called at about 11.10 am on Saturday, December 10 after reports of a two-vehicle crash on the Central Coast Highway at the Hely St intersection.
On arrival, officers attached to Brisbane Waters Police District found a black VW station wagon and a gold Nissan X-Trail SUV had collided.
An 85-year-old man driving the SUV suffered serious injuries after his vehicle rolled following the impact, coming to a rest against a bus shelter.
He was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being flown to John Hunter Hospital in a serious condition. He has since undergone surgery.
A 28-year-old woman travelling in the front-passenger seat of the VW station wagon was also airlifted to hospital in a serious condition.
The 24-year-old man driving the VW station-wagon was breath tested which allegedly returned a negative result, before being admitted to Gosford Hospital for observation.
Officers established a crime scene with assistance from specialist police attached to the Crash Investigation Unit (CIU) which was forensically examined.
A short time later, a 19-year-old man, who was allegedly driving a VW Golf GTI on the Central Coast Highway at the time of the crash, was arrested at Gosford Police Station.
He has been charged with dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, promoting a race between vehicles, speeding in a dangerous manner, and negligent driving.
He was granted strict conditional bail to appear at Gosford Local Court in February.
Following further inquiries, investigators arrested a 24-year-old man at Gosford Police Station on Tuesday, December 13.
