Two passengers in the Commodore died at the scene, while a third passenger, identified by police as young child, was flown to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The male driver was taken to hospital by road ambulance.
The female driver of the other car was also injured and taken to hospital.
The incident takes Victoria's road toll to 194 compared to 136 at the same time last year.
