A teenager has been killed, another is fighting for life and four other boys are in hospital in a “chaotic” crash on Sydney’s roads.
One teen is dead, another is critical and four others have been injured in a horror crash on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with police describing the scene as “chaotic”.
The six boys were travelling in the Toyota HiLux about 12.20am on Saturday when the vehicle left Cabbage Tree Rd in Bayview, slamming into a tree.
A 16-year-old, who was in the front passenger seat, died.
“It was a chaotic scene … it appears two of the occupants had been ejected from the vehicle,” Northern Beaches Police Commander Superintendent Patrick Sharkey said.
The 17-year-old red P-plate driver was flown to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, where he is in a critical but stable condition.
Superintendent Sharkey said the four other boys were also taken to hospital.
One is 16 and three are 17.
Superintendent Sharkey said the boys suffered “serious” crush injuries, including leg fractures and other associated injuries.
“They were all young males from the Northern Beaches,” he said.
“The scene is still under investigation, and has only just been cleared, so it’s very early days.
Superintendent Sharkey said there were restraints for five people in the car.
“There’s a sixth person in the vehicle, so as to where those persons were positions, if they were in the cabin, that will be the subject of the investigation,” he said.
“There was rain last night, the roads may have been wet.”
