The family of a crash victim in an induced coma have expressed their fury over the fatal head-on collision, amid claims it was caused by a social media stunt.
Singer Dennis Sales, 44, was on his way home from a gig with fellow musician Ken Morrow, 61, when a car veered into their path on Richmond Road in Berkshire Park in western Sydney early Sunday.
The driver of the other car, Shania McNeill, 21, died in the horrific crash, moments after she was captured on a Snapchat video driving in the middle of two lanes while singing to loud music.
Police are investigating whether Ms McNeill was 'playing chicken' with oncoming traffic moments before the fatal smash.
It comes as her friend Hazel Wildman, 23, a young woman who took a selfie while recovering in hospital the day after the crash, recently 'completely wrote off' a new car.

Mr Sales is expected to spend at least six weeks recovering from broken ribs and small spinal fractures, while Mr Morrow also suffered serious injuries.
The Daily Telegraph has published photos of Mr Sales' distraught family at his hospital bedside after he was placed in an induced coma when his diaphragm ruptured.
His son's girlfriend, Amy McLean, said his family was horrified to see the Snapchat footage of Ms McNeill before the crash.
'It's so upsetting to know this happened because of (her) silly mistake. I'm actually shaking. She would have been doing this to show off to her friends and they were wrong to record it,' Ms Lean told the publication.
Mr Sales' niece Rebecca Lee also took to social media to slam Ms McNeill.
'I'm sure you've all seen on the news today with the story about the 21 year old girl and friends who were playing 'chicken' with cars and purposely driving into incoming traffic the other night,' she wrote.
'That reckless and dangerous behaviour resulted in a head on collision with two innocent men. These are the innocent men - one of them is my uncle.'

Ms McNeill's friends, Ms Wildman and fellow passenger Faeda Hunter, 20, suffered non-life threatening injuries in the crash.
The pair have since been slammed by Ms McNeill's former boyfriend after they shared a selfie of themselves in hospital wearing neck braces and hooked up to medical machines a day after the tragedy.
Ms Wildman's Facebook page states she works at the Guard Dog Training Centre in Berskshire Park.
A staff member at the dog obedience training centre told news.com.au her casual contract as a kennel attendant was terminated last December.
He claimed Ms Wildman was a 'happy-go-lucky party girl' who posted her weekend activities on Snapchat and would then call in sick on Monday.
'More and more, she was not coming into work or always being late,' he told news.com.au.
'But there were these photos on Snapchat ... we saw what happened. She'd had warning after warning after warning.'
The staff member also claimed Ms Wildman 'completely wrote off' a brand new car late last year.
'She had
