Summary
- A teenager died in a head-on collision on Picton Road.
- The crash occurred before 6:30 am on Saturday.

A fatal head-on collision on Picton Road in Sydney's far south-west claimed the life of a teenager early Saturday morning. The crash occurred before 6:30 am, involving two vehicles. Both drivers were trapped, with paramedics treating one who was later pronounced dead at the scene.
The second driver, a 26-year-old man, suffered head and leg injuries and was transported to Liverpool Hospital in a serious but stable condition. Picton Road, a vital route connecting Wollongong and Sydney, was closed for most of Saturday morning, with authorities rerouting traffic. The road reopened by midday.
NSW Police are investigating the incident and have appealed for witnesses, particularly those with dashcam footage. This crash adds to a concerning number of fatal incidents on the Picton Road strip since 2022, including a previous fatal collision and a separate incident in Buxton where five teenagers died.
