Two children die in horror car crash after pram hit

  • On Wednesday, two children aged 1 and 5 died after a car struck their pram at the intersection of Joseph and Gilbert Street in Cabramatta just after 3pm.
  • A 33-year-old woman, believed to be the children's mother, was pushing the pram when it was struck by the vehicle and was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
  • Motorists desperately lifted the SUV onto its side to rescue a trapped child; Superintendent Timothy Calman called it "one of the most confronting scenes," while Janie Barrett described the community response as "phenomenal."
  • Police arrested the uninjured 56-year-old driver and took him to hospital for mandatory testing, while the Crash Investigation Unit established a crime scene at the site.
  • The Cumberland Highway remains closed in Cabramatta between John Street and Cabramatta Road, and authorities are preparing a report for the coroner regarding the incident.
