A man has died after being struck by a light rail carriage at a stop in Sydney's inner-city. Emergency services remain on scene after the man, believed to be in his 40s, was hit about 1.15pm at the Surry Hills light rail stop on Devonshire Street. "On arrival, officers attached to Surry Hills Police Area Command found a man, believed to be aged in his 40s under the carriage," NSW Police said in a statement. "The man was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics, however he died at the scene." The man is yet to be identified. Light rail services are expected to be disrupted throughout the afternoon. Transport for NSW said L2 and L3 services were not running between Moore Park and Central, and advised passengers to delay travel or take alternative transport.

Travel chaos as thick fog blankets Sydney
Flights have been affected, ferries have been brought to a standstill and motorists are facing traffic nightmares from a thick blanket of fog which has descended over Sydney. Eerie pictures show fog blanketing the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Monday, reducing visibility to barely more than 100 metres during morning peak hour. Sydney Ferries suspended all voyages for a time. Flights have also been affected, with air traffic control spacing out arrivals and departures due to the poor visibility. Road users were being cautioned right across the metro area. 'Reduced visibility in fog will make road conditions dangerous during Monday in all suburbs,' an early morning Bureau of Meteorology alert said. However, by 8.30am the issues on the road had eased. 'The road weather alert for all suburbs has been cancelled, but the situation will continue to be monitored and further alerts will be issued if necessary,' an updated alert says. Despite conditions easing on the roads, ferries were not expected to operate. 'No Sydney ferries are running at all due to the heavy fog,' Sydney Ferries said on Monday morning. 'Make alternative travel arrangements.' However, as the fog lifted, ferries from began operating again, from about 9am, a Transport for NSW spokesman told NewsWire. Footage posted online shows the thick blanket of fog engulfing the city. While there are blue skies above the low level of fog, the mist covers city skyscrapers and landmarks. Video posted from what appears to be an apartment, at least 15 stories high, shows just the top of the Sydney Tower poking out. 'Most of the Sydney landmarks – Harbour Bridge, Opera House and even some of the Sydney Tower, are still asleep behind a blanket of fog. I think it's giving us a message for the start of the work week,' the video caption reads.

Pacific Highway flood closure leaves driver stranded for hours in NSW
Record-breaking floods have submerged the Pacific Highway near Taree for nearly five days, leaving one motorist stranded and unable to get back home for 26 hours. A 20km stretch between Coopernook and South Taree was closed, forcing motorists like Michael Atkinson to undertake arduous detours last Wednesday. Mr Atkinson's journey from Maclean to Nelson Bay extended to 26 hours due to the closures. 'I found out there was a road closure when I got within 10km of Taree,' he told the ABC. 'It took me 26 hours to get home, driving north, camping in Glen Innes, and then driving all the way inland and up through the Hunter Valley.' These severe disruptions highlighted the region's vulnerability to extreme weather events. The MidCoast Council estimates the financial impact of the highway closure at approximately $29m, taking into account diverted traffic and disrupted supply routes. But motorists said the confusion and a lack of clear, accurate information about closures and detours made the highway shutdown even more disruptive. The Pacific Highway is a major supply route for the entire north coast of NSW, and Transport for NSW estimates that more than 26,000 vehicles use the Pacific Highway near Taree everyday with 80 per cent of them being cars and 20 per cent being trucks. Roads Minister Jenny Aitchison said on Monday people needed to be mindful when driving in challenging conditions. 'LiveTraffic doesn't tell anyone to go anywhere,' Ms Aitchison said. 'Everyone's doing their best but it's a difficult situation because no matter what somebody saw 10 minutes before they went in to update LiveTraffic, it can change in an instant. 'It's a challenging situation and I'll be looking at what we can do better next time.' The recent floods have also resulted in significant human and economic tolls across the state. At least four fatalities have been reported, with nearly 50,000 residents isolated due to inundated roads. Emergency services have conducted over 675 rescues, and the Insurance Council of Australia has received more than 1,600 claims related to flood damage.
