"Five of six teenagers crowded into a car died when the P-plate driver lost control and smashed into a tree at 120mph, in a crash emergency workers said was the worst they had seen.

The horror crash in Melbourne's north also left a 15-year-old girl seriously injured.

Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Tim Cartwright said the driver of the Ford XR6 sedan carrying six people from a party in Ivanhoe about 1.50am (AEDT) lost control on Plenty Road, Mill Park, in perfect conditions.

Mr Cartwright estimated the vehicle was travelling at 120mph when it struck and wrapped itself around the tree, splitting the vehicle apart.

"There are six young people on board, five of them have died instantly.

Those killed included driver Steve Johnstone, 19, and his half-brother Will Te-Whare, 15, both of South Morang.

Ben Hall, 19, and Matt Lister, 17, also of South Morang, were killed.

The injured girl, Elissa Iannetta, lost her 18-year-old brother, Anthony, in the accident.

Ambulance paramedic Ron McLeod said rescue workers had to lift three of the dead teens off the 15-year-old to free her from the wreckage."

All those pictures are in drivers ed, and in the safty driving class.

If you drive fast thats your decision. Be prepared to face the consequences when you mess up.

It isnt if you do, its when.

that's why if you want to go that fast, leave it for a track. not the main roads.

Thanks Stephen for posting those. Topics like this have no point without a grim reminder of the possible effects of speeding and driving recklessly on open roads.
