Buxton crash: Five teenagers killed in crash after ute smashed into a tree as driver, 18, survives

Five teenagers have been killed and and one hospitalised after a horror car crash saw the vehicle become wedged between two trees. 

The Nissan Navara utility lost control and slammed into a tree on East Parade, Buxton, a town of around 1000, near Picton, 100km southwest of Sydney.

Emergency services including fire fighters, paramedics and police, rushed to the scene just after 8pm on Tuesday and were confronted with ‘chaos’. 

Police say they have located three teenage girls and three teenage boys in the wreckage who are believed to be as young as 14 or 15.  

The 18-year-old male driver of the Nisson Navara survived with his injuries said to be non-life threatening. 

He was seen staring up into the sky as paramedics wheeled him into a waiting ambulance to take him to Liverpool Hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing. 

NSW police said on Tuesday evening: ‘Three female and two male passengers all believed to be of similar age, died at the scene.’

Charges have not been laid.

Camden police superintendent Paul Fuller told the Daily Telegraph the kids were local and attended the nearby Picton High School. 

Fire and Rescue NSW said numerous emergency crews attended ‘at a serious crash on East Parade involving numerous casualties’.

A medical team that arrived by helicopter also attended.

Officers from Camden Police Area Command established a crime scene, which is being examined by specialist police from the Crash Investigation Unit. 

‘An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash is under way (and) a report will be prepared for the Coroner,’ a police spokesman said.

A man who lives near to the crash scene said he heard sirens shortly after the incident and saw a helicopter land in a nearby field. 

‘We heard the emergency services vehicles responding really quickly and saw the lights flashing, it lit up the whole street,’ Justin Davis told The Daily Telegraph.

Mr Davis said the area is normally very quite.

‘Even when kids ride their motorbikes along the streets they do it quietly,’ he said.

Images from the scene show the car torn to pieces near the front of houses as distraught locals arrived to the devastation.
