It is understood a grey Holden SUV was heading north, and a red Mitsubishi four-wheel-drive towing a caravan was travelling south on the road.
Police believe the two vehicles then crashed in a head-on collision.
The male driver of the Holden died at the scene while the occupants of the Mitsubishi sustained non-life threatening injuries.
A St John Ambulance spokeswoman said two children and their mother were believed to have received non-life-threatening injuries.
The RAC rescue helicopter was called in after witnesses reported it seemed people were trapped inside the vehicles, describing the scene as 'carnage'.
Emergency services were treating a driver and a passenger.
