A teenage boy has died after a Holden Commodore with six youths on board crashed into a fence on Sydney's Northern Beaches on Saturday night.
Police and paramedics were called to Caladenia Close in Elanora Heights about 11.20pm and found a 16-year-old boy suffering critical head injuries. He died at the scene.
NSW Police say six teenagers – five males and one female – were travelling in the Holden Commodore station wagon when it crashed. The vehicle has only five seatbelts.
The driver was a 17-year-old boy on his red P-plates, a police spokeswoman said. He has done mandatory blood and urine testing.
The four surviving passengers and the driver were taken to Royal North Shore Hospital as a precaution.
The Crash Investigation Unit spent the night examining the scene.
Meanwhile a man has died in a car crash in Sydney's south on Saturday night.
Police and paramedics were called to the Princes Highway in Sylvania about 7.30pm and found a Toyota Corolla hatchback that had left the road and struck a power pole.
Rescuers worked for almost an hour to cut the 30-year-old driver free from the car after he was trapped inside.
He was taken to St George Hospital suffering multiple injuries but died in the ambulance on the way. He was the sole occupant of the car.
Police are investigating the crash and ask any motorists with dashcam footage to come forward.
Traffic was affected for hours after the crash while the scene was examined and the wreckage removed. Electricity crews worked throughout the night to fix the damaged power pole.
