Tyrell Edwards, 19, pleaded guilty to five counts of aggravated dangerous driving resulting in death in Picton Local Court on Thursday after the high-speed tragedy in Buxton, southwest of Sydney, on September 6. past. The teen was behind the wheel of a silver Nissan Navara that crashed into two trees, killing five Picton High School students ages 14 to 16 who were crammed into the vehicle.

Lily Van De Putte and Gabby McLennan, both 14, Summer Williams and Tyrese Bechard, both 15, and Antonio Desisto, 16, died in the crash. Edwards suffered minor injuries. “Aggravated dangerous driving was particularly egregious because it was repeated dangerous driving over a period of time that ultimately led to loss of control of the vehicle,” Judge David Degnan said on Thursday.

Charges on Tyrell Edwards

He described the event as a “tragic incident”, acknowledging the grief of the relatives in court. “I am mindful of the fact that there are many family members and friends of the victims here in court. And I recognize the loss they have suffered.” Five misdemeanor charges of dangerous driving resulting in death were dropped.

After the guilty pleas, Edward’s attorney, Karen Watson, unsuccessfully opposed a request by prosecutors to revoke her client’s bail and send him into custody. Watson argued that Edwards needed to stay out of jail to undergo psychiatric treatment for PTSD and major depressive disorder caused after the accident.

Degnan found that this did not amount to special or exceptional circumstances that could allow Edwards to remain free on bail since he would definitely face a full-time prison sentence. The courtroom was then closed and relatives of the victims asked them to leave before Edwards himself was escorted to a waiting police vehicle.

Outside court, Lily’s father, John, told reporters that he and the other parents could not move on with their lives and were living that tragic day over and over again. “I wake up every morning thinking about her and I go to bed thinking about her. She’s going to be on my mind every day,” he said. “It’s something we’ll never get over.” Van De Putte said traffic laws need to be tougher and parents need to talk to their kids about driving safety.

The case has now been sent for sentencing and will return to the Campbelltown District Court on August 24.Read More…..
