Teenage siblings die in horror highway smash
THREE Brisbane teenagers killed in a shocking crash in far-northwest NSW yesterday were believed to be siblings travelling in a family convoy with their father.
Jack Pink, 19, was driving north in a Pantech truck full of furniture when he collided head-on with a southbound fuel tanker on the Newell Hwy near Boggabilla just after 6am.
He died at the scene and his two sisters, Marina, 17, and Destiny, 15, travelling behind were killed as their vehicle also collided with the tanker and the wreckage burst into flames.
The cabin was ripped off the fuel carrier and its male driver thrown from the vehicle, but he survived with face and back injuries and was flown to Toowoomba Hospital.
The father of the three teenagers, Glenn, was understood to be travelling ahead and heard about the accident over a two-way radio before turning back to discover the scene.
