Two children dead after being hit by car in Sydney while in a pram – as it happened

NSW police said emergency services were called to the intersection of Joseph and Gilbert Street, Cabramatta, around 3:15pm, where they found two children, both aged under five, had been struck by a car. NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the children at the scene, before they were taken to hospital in a critical condition, where they have since died. NSW police said they are yet to be formally identified. A 33-year-old woman known to the children was treated for minor injuries at the scene, while the driver – a 56-year-old man – was uninjured, arrested and taken to hospital for mandatory testing. An investigation has commenced, and a media conference will be held soon.
