Four people, including a young child, have been involved in a serious head-on collision on the New South Wales South Coast on Thursday.

Two vehicles collided shortly before 4pm in Milton as emergency services were called to the scene.

The accident occurred just minutes from the area that claimed the lives of Home and Away actress Jessica Falkholt’s family.

A young boy, aged five, was taken to Milton Hospital with facial injuries from Thursday’s crash, before his condition deteriorated.
