Just a few days after five of their classmates lost their lives in a horrific collision, five teens were critically hurt in a single-vehicle accident.
The most recent collision took place early on Friday morning in Beverly Hills, Sydney’s southwest, on Stoney Creek Road.
Emergency services were summoned to the scene at about 6am after reports that a Honda Accord had collided with a pole.
NSW Ambulance paramedics provided on-site care to two female passengers, both of whom were 16 years old, and then transported them to St. George Hospital in stable condition.
According to reports, the 16-year-old suffers head and hip injuries, while the other girl has a chest injury.
Additionally treated at the site and sent to Liverpool Hospital in stable condition were two male passengers, ages 15 and 16.
The 18-year-old motorist was brought to Liverpool Hospital for required tests despite only having minor injuries.
The two women were in the rear seat with one of the male passengers who was caught in the collision, according to NSW Ambulance Inspector Anna Lennard, who spoke to the St George and Sutherland Shire Leader.
While paramedics and the aeromedical team attended to the other patients on the side of the road, emergency workers struggled to extricate him, she added.
For our personnel, incidents involving children and teenagers are never easy. We urge everyone to travel cautiously since a tragic tragedy just occurred on our roads.
