A 20 year-old New South Wales man is due to face court on Sunday charged over a horror crash in Sydney’s south-west that killed a young woman and her teenage brother.
Emergency services were called to the incident about 9.30pm on Friday to find the pair trapped inside their Toyota Echo after it was hit head-on by a Mercedes allegedly travelling at high speed on the wrong side of the road.

A third car was also struck by the Mercedes which police said was reported stolen, but the two occupants inside the stationary Rav4 were unhurt.
Witnesses told police the three young men inside the Mercedes then ran from the scene, before driving off in a Volkswagon Golf.
That car was stopped by police about an hour later and the 18-year-old driver was questioned and released without charge.
