A 33-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant died after being hit by a car in Sydney’s northwest, and 19-year-old P-Plater was arrested in connection with the collision.
Emergency services were called to the entrance of a car park in George Street, Hornsby, shortly after 8pm on Friday following reports that a silver Kia station wagon had struck a pedestrian after being rear-ended by a white BMW with P-plates.
A 33-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant has tragically died after being struck by a car in Sydney’s northwest and a P-Plater has been arrested in connection with the collision.
The driver of the Kia slowed down to enter the parking lot and allowed the pregnant woman to cross the street, when the BMW allegedly hit the back of the car, pushing the Kia forward and hitting the woman.
NSW Ambulance treated the woman at the scene before taking her to Westmead Hospital in a critical and unstable condition. Later, she and her unborn baby died.
Both drivers of the Kia and BMW were uninjured and were taken to Hornsby Hospital for mandatory testing. There were no passengers in either car.
Police arrested the 19-year-old man just before 1 a.m. on Saturday.
While the crime scene has been identified, the police investigation continues.
More to come.
