5-Year-Old Found Wandering After Car Accident That Killed Three Others

'He’s obviously a tough little boy'

A five-year-old boy has been found wandering a Hunter Valley property after surviving a car crash that killed three men, including his father and grandfather.

It is understood the Sydney-based family were visiting the area to look at properties as the third man in the vehicle was identified as a local real estate agent, reports ABC.  

The boy miraculously survived the crash with minor injuries, while the three men were all ejected from the vehicle as it crashed into an embankment 20km from Scone.

Concerns were raised after the group did not return, and a local land owner stumbled across the tragic scene, with the young boy standing just metres from his father and grandfather’s bodies.

All three were pronounced dead at the scene, while the boy was flown to Scone Hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
