A man has been charged with predatory driving following a crash in the NSW Southern Tablelands. 

Emergency services were called to Crookwell, 45km northwest of Goulburn, following reports that a SUV and a hatchback had collided head-on. 

The driver of the hatchback, a 59-year-old woman, and her 48-year-old female passenger were both trapped and had to be freed by Fire and Rescue crews.

They were treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to Goulburn Hospital for treatment – both women are in a stable condition with non life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the SUV, a 53-year-old man, was uninjured and arrested at the scene. 

He was charged with predatory driving, use of an offensive weapon with intent to commit an indictable offence, and contravening a  prohibition/restriction in AVO (domestic).

He was refused bail to appear at Wollongong Local Court and will face a hearing on Sunday.
