A father and son have been killed in a "very traumatic" highway crash this morning on the NSW Central Coast.

Emergency services were called the scene at Ourimbah on the Pacific Highway near Kangy Angy, after a four-wheel-drive crashed into a Commodore station wagon just before 9am.

Tuggerah Lakes Police District Chief Inspector Col Lott said initial inquiries suggest the station wagon became bogged on a median strip when a second vehicle lost control, and the two "unfortunately collided".
