A 32-year-old man has been charged with murder following a man's death at Belmont yesterday afternoon.
Around 1:30 on the Pacific Highway near Beach Street, a Holden Commodore and 4WD collided, and a short time later a 50-year-old man was found with stab wounds to the neck.
He died in the John Hunter Hospital a short time later, while the younger man was taken to Belmont Police station.
Police say the pair were known to each other and allege they became involved in a verbal altercation before the crash.
Officers arrested the accused at a home on Marriot Street, Belmont shortly after the incident.
