Two individuals lost their lives in a tragic car crash in Sydney's southwest, following a high-speed police pursuit. The incident unfolded when a 31-year-old man, driving a stolen red sedan, failed to stop at a petrol station on King Georges Road in South Hurstville around 10:20 am on Saturday. The car's 25-year-old owner was allegedly assaulted during the theft. As the pursuit intensified, the suspect's vehicle crashed into an Alfa Romeo sedan on the Old Hume Highway at Camden South, resulting in the deaths of the two individuals in the second car. The driver of the red sedan, who fled the scene on foot, was swiftly apprehended by police and taken to Campbelltown Police Station. The critical incident has been declared, with the investigation under the scrutiny of the Professional Standards Command and the oversight of the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission. Multiple crime scenes have been established, and further details are expected to be released by the police later in the day.
