A quiet evening in Sydney's western suburbs turned to chaos when two cars collided in a devastating crash at a Blacktown intersection, leaving three men fighting for their lives.
The dramatic incident unfolded around 8:20 PM on Saturday at the junction of Forge and Sunnyholt streets, triggering a massive emergency response that saw multiple ambulances and police vehicles race to the scene.
Emergency crews battle to save lives
Paramedics arrived to find a scene of utter devastation, with two vehicles showing significant damage from the force of the impact. Three male occupants, all believed to be in their 20s, were trapped inside the wreckage and required extensive medical attention at the scene.
"All three patients were treated for serious injuries before being transported to major Sydney hospitals," confirmed a NSW Ambulance spokesperson.
Major hospital response activated
The injured men were rushed to Westmead Hospital, with two patients listed in serious but stable condition. The third man sustained more critical injuries, requiring specialised trauma care.
Medical staff at Westmead Hospital prepared for the arrival of the crash victims, activating their trauma response teams to provide immediate life-saving treatment.
Investigation underway as questions mount
Forensic police officers have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision. The crash scene remained closed for several hours overnight as specialists documented evidence and reconstructed the events leading up to the impact.
Local residents reported hearing a "loud bang" followed by the immediate sound of sirens as emergency services descended on the area.
The intersection remained closed into the early hours of Sunday morning, causing significant disruption to traffic in the Blacktown area while crash investigators completed their work.
Police are appealing for any witnesses or drivers with dashcam footage who may have captured the moments before the collision to come forward as they work to determine the cause of this serious incident.
