URGENT UPDATE: A serious head-on collision in Sydney’s west has left three individuals hospitalized, including two police officers, following a dramatic incident on Saturday night. The crash occurred on Debrincat Avenue in North St Marys, and is now under investigation by the NSW Police’s critical investigation team.
The crash involved a 47-year-old male driver of a Holden sedan, who was transported to Westmead Hospital in a serious but stable condition. The two officers—a 25-year-old male constable and a 25-year-old female senior constable—were treated at the scene before being taken to Nepean Hospital as a precautionary measure.
Officials report that the police officers were actively engaged in a search for a Volkswagen Golf that had failed to stop for a random breath test at Dean Park.
