Two teenage boys died when the bike they were riding collided with a bus in Sydney’s west on Monday night.
Police say emergency services responded to reports of a crash involving a bus on the Liverpool Parramatta Transitway at Bossley Park just after 7.15pm.
The rider, a 16-year-old boy, and a passenger, a 15-year-old boy, were treated by paramedics, but both died at the scene.
The bus driver was uninjured and taken to hospital for mandatory testing. No passengers on the bus were injured.
Initial police reports suggested the boys were riding a motorcycle.
However, a short time after the incident, Fairfield City Mayor Frank Carbone posted to social media suggesting the accident involved e-bikes.
“This is what happens when the NSW state government ignores repeated requests for action on e-bikes on the T-Way,” he wrote.
“My thoughts and prayers are with those who were hurt, and I sincerely hope they are OK.
“Chris Minns, enough of the media releases. It is time for action. Do your job, direct police to act, and respond to the repeated calls our community has been making before someone is seriously injured or worse.”
Officers attached to Fairfield City Police Area Command established a crime scene and an investigation has commenced with the assistance of specialist police from the Crash Investigation Unit.
Police have asked for witnesses to come forward, while anyone with dashcam footage or CCTV should contact Fairfield City Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
