The two teenagers who died when the ute they were in collided with a van in NSW were identified as 19-year-old Joe Urban and 18-year-old Lochie Jacobs.
They were killed when the two vehicles crashed on the Newell Highway at Tomingley, about 50 kilometers southwest of the city of Dubbo.
The occupants of the van, a husband and wife, were also killed at the scene.
The two vehicles collided at around 9.20 pm on Friday.
According to NSW Police Inspector Rob Bervern, all of the victims were from the Central West region of the state.
The ute’s driver, who was the only survivor, was taken to a local hospital with leg injuries.
Online tributes have been paid to Jacobs and Urban, with one of his sisters posting a picture of the pair.
Some of the messages posted on the social media site eulogized the two teenagers, describing them as kind and dedicated individuals.
One of the victims’ friends said that the pair were two of the best individuals he had ever met.
The police have also requested that the public respect the privacy of the victims’ families as they investigate the accident.
“Please, drive to the conditions, drive to the speed limit and don’t die for a deadline,” Bevern said.
