Three dead, boy critical in Ourimbah car crash on the New South Wales Central Coast
Three people have died and a child has been taken to hospital after a car crash at Ourimbah on the New South Wales central coast.
Police said the car, with two adults and two boys on board, veered off the road and hit a tree, travelling at a speed of up to 100 kilometres an hour.
Police believed the occupants were a young family.
The accident is believed to be a single vehicle crash which happened around 12:30pm (local time) on Sunday at Enterprise Drive.
A man, a woman, and the youngest of the boys died at the scene. The older boy was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition.
Inspector Colin Lott said it was a terrible incident.
"At the time, it's estimated the vehicle was travelling at approximately 90 to 100 km an hour," he said.
"It was seen not to brake and as it went to the side of the roadway it collided with a tree heavily.
"It is always a difficult scene for any fatality but to see potentially a whole family lost it makes it even more distressing."
