Devastated friends of a teenager who died when his ute slammed into a fence in Llandilo on Monday have remembered him as a young man who would "do anything in the world for his mates".
Nathan Balzano, 19, was driving along Ninth Avenue at Llandilo, just before 8pm on Monday when he lost control of his ute and slammed into a fence, which had been erected at a construction site on the semi-rural road.
The impact crushed the front of the P-plater's vehicle and left car parts scattered over the road.
Residents who heard the smash immediately phoned emergency services, who arrived at the scene within minutes.
They could not revive Mr Balzano, a former Xavier College student, who died just down the road from his old school. No one else was in the vehicle at the time of the crash.
