The driver of the Suzuki, a 32-year-old Gisborne man, sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
The two occupants of the Hilux were not injured.
The driver of the Commodore, a 24-year-old Bonshaw man, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
He was interviewed by detectives and later charged with culpable driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death.
The Bonshaw man will appear at Geelong Magistrates' Court on 28 October, 2024.
