Motorcycle crash comes one week after Inner West crash in Enfield killed 19-year-old man

The motorcycle crash in Marrickville comes a week after a 19-year-old man from Blakehurst was killed in a four-vehicle crash in Enfield.

Emergency services were called to the corner of Coronation Parade and Wynnstay Avenue on the morning of April 9 after reports that two north-bound and south-bound vehicles had collided.

The 19-year-old, who was driving a Volkswagen Polo hatchback, was unable to be revived and died at the scene, while the drivers of the three other vehicles were all taken to hospital for mandatory testing.

Investigators said last week that they were especially interested in sourcing dashcam or mobile phone footage of the incident, including the minutes leading up to the impact.
