The 28-year-old man and woman have now been released from hospital, but the other passengers continue to receive treatments. Their injuries are believed to be non-life threatening.
The 23-year-old, who was driving the Vauxhall, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. The driver of the Honda, a 62-year-old man, also received injuries that were serious but not life threatening and remains in hospital.
Two women who were passengers in the Honda were checked over by ambulance staff at the scene. A local resident, who didn't want to be named, says: "This sort of thing happens all the time. The police might as well camp out on the road. I'm sick of it because I can't get out of my house. I've seen cars flip over and drivers go through their windscreen.
"It's too wide is that main road, people forget it's a village. It's just a nuisance." A scene and road closures remain in place while collision investigation work is completed.
Anyone who witnessed the collision or the movements of either vehicle in the time leading up to it, particularly anyone with relevant dashcam footage, is asked to contact the Major Collision Enquiry Team via 101 quoting reference 13220572755 or online through the live chat facility.
