Friends are mourning the loss of a ''sweet'' and ''caring'' teenager who was killed when his friend's P-plate Holden Commodore slammed into a tree early yesterday morning.Tyson Gavin, 17, was riding in the back seat of the Commodore as it travelled north along Eggleston Crescent in Chifley at about 12.55am.
The car, which was carrying four teenagers, lost control, jumped a gutter and smashed into a large tree near the McDonald Street intersection.
The rear left hand side, where Mr Gavin was sitting, took the brunt of the impact. He died at the scene, despite frantic attempts by emergency services to save his life.

Mr Gavin was remembered as a promising young rugby league player with the Woden Valley Rams, where he played more than 100 games since he joined the under-nines.
The teenager hoped to turn his passion into a professional career with the Canberra Raiders.
