2 killed after stolen car crashes into another vehicle in Sydney

Police in Australia's state of New South Wales (NSW) said two people were killed after a stolen car crashed into another car in Sydney's southwest on Saturday.



Emergency services were called to a service station in South Hurstville, a suburb of southern Sydney, at 10:20 a.m. local time on Saturday, following reports that a 25-year-old man was allegedly assaulted before an unknown man stole his red sedan and left the scene.



Police located the vehicle later and initiated a pursuit with assistance from NSW Police Force Aviation Command (PolAir). The chase was terminated in the Bankstown area, but PolAir continued to track the car before it crashed into a sedan on the Old Hume Highway in Camden South, a suburb of the Macarthur Region of Sydney, at about 11:10 a.m. local time.



The two occupants of the sedan were treated by NSW Police and Ambulance paramedics, but both died at the scene. The driver of the stolen car, a 31-year-old man, ran from the scene of the crash on foot and was arrested a short distance away.
