TWO young men are dead after a high-powered car crashed into a power pole in Sydney yesterday.
Crash investigators are trying to piece together the final moments of the white Subaru WRX sedan, which crashed off Burns Bay Road, Linley Point, at 2am, leaving the driver and front passenger dead.
No other vehicles were involved and driving conditions were said to have been good.
Emile Brugman�s Facebook page shows him enjoying a drink.
Emile Brugman, 21, from Killara, thought to have been the driver of the high-performance car, was killed. He was still on his P-plates.
The injured man is understood to be his stepbrother, Chris Limberiou, aged about 20, also from Killara. He was in a stable condition in Royal North Shore Hospital last night.
An unnamed occupant of the car was also killed.
A Facebook entry for Mr Brugman posted on August 5 at 12.34am reads: ''Just legged it from the cops RBT [random breath test], got g-cam [a friend] to pick me up and now at East Ocean Restaurant on Sussex Street.''
A friend posted a reply on Facebook at 1.53pm that simply said ''Hahahahhahahaha''.
It is believed the three men had been to the Hunters Hill Hotel during the evening. Yesterday a female bartender said: ''They are local boys.''
One person who arrived shortly after the accident said police sealed off the area and a man was sitting on the ground behind a police car.
The crash happened on a bend and the wooden power pole was left lying on the ground. Skid marks led to the scene of the impact. Relatives of one of the young men are believed to have attended the crash scene during the early hours.
One friend, who asked not to be named, said: ''This is possibly the worst thing that has happened. It is pretty shocking.'' He had not seen Mr Brugman for about three weeks but understood he had visited Amsterdam with his father.
By lunch yesterday three bunches of flowers were at the scene. One had a card saying ''RIP Emile xxx''.
