UPDATE: A young man’s life was tragically cut short after a suspected hit-and-run incident in Richmond, northwest of Sydney, on the evening of October 15, 2023. Emergency services rushed to Old Kurrajong Rd around 7.45 PM, following reports from a passing motorist who discovered the 23-year-old man lying unresponsive on the roadside.
Despite attempts to revive him, paramedics confirmed the man died at the scene. Initial police investigations suggest he was struck by a vehicle that did not stop, prompting an urgent investigation. Authorities are now racing against time to identify the driver responsible.
