Story summary
A teenager died in a head-on crash on Picton Road near Wilton, south-west of Sydney, early Saturday morning. The collision involved two cars that shut down the main road for several hours. One driver, identified as a man in his late teens, was pronounced dead at the scene despite paramedic treatment. The other driver, a 26-year-old man with head and leg injuries, was taken to Liverpool Hospital in serious but stable condition. Police are still investigating and have asked for any dashcam footage or information from witnesses.
Since 2022, there have been at least four fatal crashes on this stretch of Picton Road. Nearby in Buxton, five teenagers were killed when Tyrell Edwards lost control of his mother’s Nissan Nivara while driving 117.9km/h in a 60km/h zone, crashing into a tree in September 2022. Authorities have not released the cause or details of Saturday's crash yet but are preparing a report for the state’s coroner.
