Two teenage boys killed in collision with bus in western Sydney
Two teenage boys were killed when the bike they were riding collided with a bus in Sydney’s west on Monday night.
Police said emergency services responded to reports of a crash involving a bus on the Liverpool Parramatta Transitway in Bossley Park just after 7.15pm.
The driver, a 16-year-old boy, and a passenger, a 15-year-old boy, were treated by paramedics but both died at the scene.
The bus driver was uninjured and taken to hospital for mandatory testing. No passengers on the bus were injured.
Initial police reports suggested that the boys were riding a motorcycle.
However, shortly after the incident, Fairfield Mayor Frank Carbone posted on social media suggesting that the accident was related to e-bikes.
“This is what will happen if the NSW state government ignores repeated demands for action on e-bikes on the T-Road,” he wrote.
“My thoughts and prayers are with those injured and I sincerely hope they are okay.
“Chris Minns, that’s enough media coverage. It’s time to act. Do your job, direct the police to take action, and respond to the repeated calls from our community before someone gets seriously injured or worse.”
Officers from Fairfield City Police Area Command established a crime scene and an investigation began with the assistance of specialist police from the Accident Investigation Unit.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward, while anyone with dashcam footage or CCTV should contact Fairfield City Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
