Two women have tragically died following a vehicle crash at Nepean Hospital in Penrith yesterday afternoon at approximately 320pm.
The crash is believed to have occurred after the driver of the vehicle had a medical episode while behind the wheel, hitting a parked car and a pedestrian as the vehicle lost control. The driver, aged in her 60s, and the pedestrian in her 40s both died at the scene despite the almost immediate response from medical crews.
A woman in the car that was hit was treated for shock but was otherwise unharmed.
Investigations are ongoing, but while there are some entrance closures in proximity of the accident, the Nepean Emergency Department remains open.
