A man has been charged with manslaughter over the deaths of an elderly couple in a crash at Salamander Bay two months ago.
Police say the 44-year-old was driving a Holden Commodore which collided with a Toyota Aurion at the roundabout on Salamander Way at about 2pm on August 26.
The couple in the Toyota, 77-year-old Robyn Thompson and her 80-year-old husband, Ron were treated by paramedics but sadly died at the scene.
The Holden driver from Tanilba Bay was taken to the John Hunter Hospital with a non-life threatening head injury.
He's now been charged with 11 offences including two counts each of manslaughter and dangerous driving occasioning death and has been refused bail to face Raymond Terrace Local Court on January 18.
