A lawyer for the teenager charged over a crash at Buxton which claimed five lives has asked a Sydney court for an expedited listing for a second bail application.
Tyrell Edwards, 18, has been charged with five counts of dangerous driving occasioning death over the September 6 crash south west of Sydney, where a Nissan Navara ute collided with a tree.
Three girls and two boys, aged between 14 and 16, died, including Picton High School students Lily Van de Putte and Antonio Desisto.
Their families have given the ABC permission to identify them, however other victims cannot be named for legal reasons.
Mr Edwards has been in custody since he was charged the day after the incident and was refused bail in Picton Local Court 10 days ago.
His lawyer, Karen Watson, today asked the NSW Supreme Court for an expedited listing for a second bail application.
She told Registrar George Galanis she was seeking the "earliest possible date", citing mental health concerns, and said a psychological report forming part of the application will be filed by the end of the week.
After hearing about the Crown's availability, the registrar said he was concerned about delaying the matter more than necessary, given "the particular circumstances Ms Watson has raised".
But the court also heard a deputy senior Crown prosecutor has recently been briefed to act in the matter, and it was the Crown's position that "ideally" she appears at the bail hearing.
The application is expected to last up to an hour on October 14.
During Mr Edwards's unsuccessful bail application in Picton Local Court, the prosecutor highlighted two previous suspensions of his licence for speeding in an 18-month period.
The court was told he is "significantly traumatised" after the incident and requires psychological treatment.
Court documents detailing alleged police facts also revealed Mr Edwards's phone contained a video recorded just over an hour before the collision, in which he allegedly turned the steering wheel aggressively from side to side, causing the vehicle to swerve, as some passengers laughed.
Magistrate Mark Douglass considered the two speeding suspensions to be "problematic" for the bail application.
He said the court had no confidence Mr Edwards would comply with proposed bail conditions, which could have included a curfew, daily reporting to police and living with his parents.
