Two dead, three injured in M1 crash Vehicle "impacted with one of the rock walls, catapulted across the M1" says Inspector George Bradbury. Nine News PT0M59S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2zxf2 620 349 December 26, 2013 - 1:29PM Five friends on their way back to Sydney after a Christmas holiday have been involved in a horror crash on the M1. Two men were killed and three others injured when their maroon Mitsubishi Mirage slammed into an embankment just north of Jolls Bridge at Mooney Mooney on the central coast just before 5am. Police will investigate whether speed, fatigue or a slippery road surface contributed to the single-vehicle crash. The friends are believed to be from the Auburn area and were holidaying together on the north coast. The men who died are believed to have been aged 22 and 31. One man was thrown from the vehicle while the other man, a back-seat passenger, was trapped and died at the scene. They are yet to be formally identified. The driver of the car, a 29-year-old man, and two other passengers, aged 22 and 27, are in Royal North Shore Hospital in a stable condition and investigators hope to speak to them to find out what happened. The group had stopped in at the Caltex Twin service station at Wyong early on Thursday before continuing the journey back to Sydney. At 10am, all southbound lanes were re-opened after two lanes were shut earlier in the day. Traffic remained very heavy in the area. with Megan Levy and AAP
