Five teenagers are fighting for life after a high-speed, single-vehicle, fiery crash on Sydney's lower north shore, as police declare a critical incident investigation.
Police say they terminated a pursuit of the Holden Commodore, which was allegedly being driven by a 16-year-old girl, shortly before it left the road, struck a tree and burst into flames on Sunday, in suburban Cammeray.
Commander of the North Shore Police Area Command, Detective Superintendent Paul Devaney says prior to the crash, officers had been called to reports of a fight in nearby Wollstonecraft, allegedly involving the teens.
