A three-year-old girl dies after being hit by a car in Sydney’s west, police say. Multiple outlets report she is struck while playing outside her home in the afternoon, and she is taken to hospital but cannot be saved.
Reports agree the incident involves a car reversing or entering a driveway. The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age describe the car as reversing and the girl being hit in the western suburbs. ABC and other outlets similarly say the car is entering a driveway. Coverage differs mainly in emphasis: the Daily Mail highlights CCTV capturing the girl’s final moments and includes comments from her mother, while other outlets focus on police account of the circumstances and the child’s death.
The reports do not provide differing confirmed details about the family’s location beyond “western Sydney” and one outlet citing Auburn. Police investigations continue into how the car came to hit the child.
