Overview
- Emergency services found the crash on Rocky Point Road in Sans Souci in the early hours of Saturday after an Audi smashed through a concrete median, flipped and landed on top of a Toyota Camry.
- NSW Police carried out a welfare check on the Audi driver in Gymea Bay about ten minutes before the collision but the driver left before officers could speak with him.
- All three men in the two vehicles died at the scene: Tamati Gilbert, the Audi driver; Seamus Duignan, a 28-year-old concertgoer; and 22-year-old Shoaib Hussain, an international student who worked as an Uber driver and disability support worker.
- Police are probing whether the Audi was travelling at excessive speed and whether drugs or alcohol played a role, and forensic and toxicology work is under way to support the coronial inquiry.
- Local communities and the band Fear Factory have raised funds and paid tribute to the victims, and families are seeking a full inquest to establish what happened in the crucial minutes before the crash.
