Jamie Leigh Morris fronted Inverell Local Court on Thursday for sentencing, having admitted to negligent driving after the fatal head-on north of Inverell in 2018.

A 35-year-old man was behind the wheel of a Toyota Lexcen sedan in the July 21 crash when Morris' Ford Territory collided head-on with it about 10.30am on the Ashford-Graman Road near Graman.

The man died at the scene; and a teenage girl and woman, aged in her early thirties, were trapped and had to be rescued from the wreckage of their car.

They were both airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.

Morris was taken to hospital while a passenger in his Ford was airlifted to Tamworth hospital with serious injuries.

Morris was later charged and pleaded guilty to negligent driving occasioning death, negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, not displaying P-plates, and driving with a child aged between four and seven that is not restrained properly.

Magistrate Michael Daikin placed him on a three-year community corrections order for causing the death of the man, and a two-year order for the injuries suffered by the passengers.

He was also ordered to perform 100 hours of community service as part of each of the orders.

Mr Daikin convicted Morris and fined him $800 for not properly restraining the child and $400 for not displaying P-plates.

He has also been disqualified from driving for three years.
