A young couple killed when their sports car slammed into a power pole in Sydney's west overnight were engaged to be married, police said today.
The 32-year-old brother of the male driver, who was travelling in the back of the car, was also injured in the accident and remains in a critical condition in hospital.
The couple was killed when their Nissan Skyline clipped the front of a four wheel drive at the intersection of Milperra Road and Marigold Street, Milperra, just after 11pm (AEDT) yesterday before hitting a power pole, police said.
The 21-year-old driver from Chester Hill and his 20-year-old fiancee, from Villawood, died at the scene.
``The driver and the front seat passenger were engaged to be married and the back seat passenger was the brother of the driver,'' Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit Commander Peter Jenkins told reporters.
Police are investigating the possibility the Skyline was racing a silver car before it collided with the four wheel drive.
