Labor backbencher Ed Husic is on leave following a serious car crash on Sydney’s major motorway network. The Guardian reports that Husic’s vehicle was involved in a collision with a truck on the M7 motorway, with the incident occurring on Tuesday at about 6.20pm as he was travelling home from his electorate office, according to a spokesperson. The Guardian says Husic is hospitalised and has fractures and concussion. The West Australian also describes the crash as “serious” and reports that Husic is taking leave as a result of the incident.
Both accounts indicate Husic is currently away from duties and receiving medical care after the collision. The Guardian adds that he plans to take a short period of leave. The sources do not provide additional details on the condition of the other driver or passengers, the extent of vehicle damage, or the outcome of any investigation into how the crash occurred.
