Witness Kyle Johnston said he saw one of the men become trapped in the car's wheels.

'I witnessed a car drag a body, about 15m today, and I'm kind of confused as to what happened,' he told Nine News.

A Traffic and Highway Patrol Command spokeswoman said the crash involved a Honda CRV 4WD. 

Emergency responders were at the scene on Monday night, and had cordoned off part of the intersection. 

The mangled scooter and a helmet were seen strewn on the road while part of the bus's windscreen was smashed. 

'The rider and his passenger suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene,' a NSW Police spokesperson said.

'The driver of the bus and the car were both taken to hospital for mandatory tests and were uninjured.'
