A three-year-old girl dies after being hit by a car in western Sydney. Police and media reports say the child is struck while the vehicle is reversing, and she is taken to hospital but later dies.
Several outlets describe the incident as occurring as the car is believed to be entering a driveway in Sydney’s western suburbs. Reporting also varies slightly in wording, with some outlets focusing on the “reversing” nature of the strike and others describing it more generally as the car entering a driveway.
Most accounts agree on the child’s age, that she is struck in Sydney’s west, and that she dies following the collision. One outlet notes the child is taken to hospital and cannot be saved, while others report the death after the incident without adding additional details about the timing beyond the same general afternoon period.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances of how the child was struck.
