Three men are in a critical condition after a horrific single car accident in Blacktown, western Sydney, on Thursday morning. The crash happened around 9 a.m. at the intersection of Lock Street and Panorama Parade. Once on the scene, emergency personnel immediately realized that there was a dangerous situation.
Paramedics rapidly attended the three young men, aged 20 to 30, and treated those we could save. They subsequently transported the cluster patients to Westmead Hospital for more advanced treatment. One of the men was in critical condition after the crash as a result of head trauma, while the second and third men had leg injuries. Eyewitness video was rolling when the car went up on the curb, making the shocking moment entirely clear. It smashed into the workers, tossing them meters into a retail space.
The police are still investigating the circumstances of the crash. Early police reports suggest that two vehicles were involved in a head-on crash at the intersection. One truck lost control and drove into people waiting at a marked crosswalk. Law enforcement is extremely interested to know the specific makes and models of the cars. They are just trying to make sense of what caused this tragic accident to happen.
When the impact happened, emergency services started receiving calls right away, demonstrating how immediate and urgent this situation was. The swift response from paramedics ensured that all three victims received immediate medical attention, which is crucial given the severity of their injuries.
Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash to come forward. They similarly appeal to the public for dashcam footage when investigating crashes. This open letter is intended to begin gathering such evidence. We hope to provide some context about what happened that led to the collision.
