TWO women, one of whom was heavily pregnant with twins, have died and two men are in a critical condition after a multi-vehicle crash in Sydney’s west.
Police have reported that a Mazda 3 travelling south on the Northern Rd, Orchard Hills, collided with another vehicle, a Nissan Tiida, travelling north about 7.40 Friday night.
The impact forced the Nissan backwards with two other vehicles, a Holden utility and a Toyota Corolla suffering minor damage, as the drivers of those vehicles took evasive action to avoid the crash.
The 17-year-old female driving the Nissan and her rear seat passenger, a 23-year-old woman, who was heavily pregnant, died at the scene.
Police say the woman’s unborn twins also died in the crash while crash investigators have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
The 25-year-old male front seat passenger in the Nissan was taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition.
A 29-year-old man and sole occupant of the southbound Mazda was trapped for a short time. He was eventually removed and taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition with leg injuries where he remains under police guard.
The 18-year-old man driving the Holden and the 23-year-old woman driving the Toyota, were not injured.
Meanwhile, a Sydney woman is in hospital with serious injuries after a car hit her and failed to stop.
Police say emergency services were called to Rickard Rd, Bankstown, in the city’s southwest, after the woman in her 50s was struck by a black Lexus about 7.45 last night.
The vehicle also struck a traffic control signal and sign post.
Police arrested a 27-year-old man, who later attended Bankstown police station, and seized a damaged, black Lexus that had been parked in Weigand Ave.
The man was later charged with dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, not give particulars to injured person and fail to stop and render assistance.
The man was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Bail Court today.
