A number of Pimpama State Secondary College students were involved in the fatal crash which also left six people injured.

Police have confirmed a 17-year-old driver of Mitsubishi Lancer sedan held a provisional licence — Jasey was sitting behind the driver.

The sedan collided with a Toyota Utility which was carrying a mother and her two small children.

A Forensic Crash Unit is still investigating.

Pimpama College Principal John Thornberry said the school is providing assistance and counselling for students and staff.

“All students were brought together and told this morning,” Mr Thornberry said.

”Obviously it has devastated their class mates, and teachers.

“We have support in place, and a few extra counsellors brought in,” he said.

Mr Thornberry says the news came as a shock to the community, who first heard of the tragedy on Sunday evening.

“It’s not the news anyone wants to hear, a few of the kids were aware of the accident over the weekend.

Mr Thornberry spoke fondly of the student in Years 10 to 12 who were involved in the incident.

“They are all good kids” he said.

Police are still appealing for any witnesses to the crash, anyone who may have seen the car prior to the crash or anyone who has any dashcam or video that could assist the investigation to please contact Forensic Crash Unit (07) 55 147 880.
