Woman under police guard in hospital following crash in Sydney's Inner West, NSW

A woman remains in hospital under police guard following a three-vehicle crash in Sydney’s Inner West this morning, NSW Police say.

Just after 1am tomorrow, officers from Leichhardt Local Area Command were called to Parramatta Road, Camperdown, following reports of a three-vehicle crash.

Initial inquiries have led police to believe a 34-year-old woman was driving a Mazda 3 in an easterly direction when she collided into the rear of a VW sedan travelling in the same direction.

The Mazda 3 then hit a taxi which was stationary on the same road.

The woman was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital to be treated for minor injuries. She remains there under police guard.

The driver of the VW, a 51-year-old man, and the driver of the taxi, a 36-year-old man, were assessed at the scene; however, did not require further treatment.

Police are investigating the incident and are appealing for witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers.
