Teenage boy among two dead in horror night on Sydney roads
A 16-year-old boy and a woman in her 40s have been killed in two separate incidents on Sydney roads overnight, as police launch a statewide traffic operation for the King's Birthday long weekend. About 8.10pm on Thursday, emergency services were called to reports of a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of the Hume Highway and Worth Street at Greenacre. Police were told a truck and a small hatchback had collided, and a 16-year-old boy who was the passenger of the hatchback died at the crash scene. A second hatchback passenger, also believed to be a young boy, was rushed to The Children's Hospital at Westmead in a critical condition. The woman driving the car was also taken to hospital in a critical condition, while a man sitting in the front passenger seat was in a stable condition. At 6am on Friday, Nine reported the truck was still at the scene, as crash investigators gathered evidence. A crime scene was established, and the Hume Highway remains closed eastbound. Police are urging the public to avoid the area. In another tragic road incident earlier on Thursday evening, a pedestrian was killed on Macquarie Avenue in Penrith in an alleged hit-and-run. The woman was struck by a ute about 5.30pm, and police allege the ute driver drove away from the scene without stopping. NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the woman, believed to be in her 40s, at the scene, but she couldn't be saved.
