Nine people have died on NSW roads since Friday, prompting senior police to issue a warning to all road users to take personal responsibility for their actions, NSW Police say.
Between Friday (11 August 2017) and yesterday, seven people lost their lives in six separate crashes across the state.
This morning today two more people lost their lives in separate crashes:
About 12.10am this morning, a 20-year-old man was driving a Kia Cerato on the M1 at Wallarah near Wyong, when he crashed into a barrier and rolled. After getting out of his car, he was struck by a Hyundai i20, driven by a 20-year-old woman, and died at the scene.
About 3.50am this morning, emergency services were called to Sir Bertram Stephens Drive, Bundeena, after a Ford Ranger left the roadway and crashed into a tree. The driver, a man who is yet to be formally identified, died at the scene.
Crime scenes were established at both crash sites and investigations are continuing.
Traffic & Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy, said the loss of nine lives in four days is a tragedy.
"Nine people dying on our roads in the course of four days, is not acceptable under any circumstances.
"Nine lives lost, is more than a statistic, it means there are now nine families that will mourn a loved one forever.
"We need all road-users to take responsibility for their actions in order to put a stop to more avoidable crashes on our roads," Assistant Commissioner Corboy said.
