A high-speed ‘street race’ crash in Greenacre, Sydney leaves four injured
- Four teenagers were injured after a car hit a power pole
- It is believed that they were street races
Four young men are lucky to be alive after a P-plate driver lost control and crashed into a utility pole in a fiery, high-speed accident on one of Sydney’s busiest roads.
Police allege a Toyota was traveling at more than 100 km/h on the Hume Highway in Greenacre in southwest Sydney when the driver lost control around 9pm on Tuesday night.
The car then crashed into traffic lights and then caught fire.
The driver and his three passengers managed to escape from the burning wreckage.
Poignant footage from the scene shows the stripped dark gray Toyota completely destroyed and several injured occupants lying on the ground being treated by emergency services.

The man, 19, behind the wheel was rushed to Prince of Wales Hospital, while one of his male passengers was transported to Westmead with serious injuries.
Both are believed to be in a stable state.
Two other men suffered minor injuries but did not require hospital treatment.
Police investigations show that the driver was involved in street racing before the accident.
The crash happened just days later after two siblings were killed when an out-of-control driver crashed into their vehicle just yards from the family home near Liverpool.
