A little girl has died after she was hit by a car in Sydney’s west in a horror crash on Wednesday night.
The five-year-old was walking with her 37-year-old mother along Rooty Hill Road North in Plumpton when they were hit by a Toyota Tarago just after 7pm.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene right before paramedics transported the pair to Westmead Hospital.
The woman was in a serious but stable condition with leg injuries and the child was in a critical condition.
The young girl died in hospital a little while later.
Photos from the scene show the broken window of the Tarago as multiple ambulance crew rushed to the mother and daughter’s aid.
The 64-year-old male driver of the Tarago was also taken to Westmead Hospital for mandatory testing.
Local resident James Camilleri said he had heard a “thud” before sirens started going off.
“Obviously someone has been hit by a car … this stretch of road is notorious for people getting hit and killed,” he said
“Just a year ago my brother was here and got T-boned by a truck. He had a heart attack here and was brought back to life.
“Something need to be done about this road.”
Paramedic Lawrence Vincent was the first on the scene and said the driver of the car was uninjured but the girl had life-threatening injuries.
“On arrival it was absolute chaos,” he said.
“We took control of the scene and provided exceptional care tonight for our patients.”
