Tragedy struck at Lake Burrendong in New South Wales, Australia yesterday morning when a one-year-old toddler was run over by a truck at a holiday park. NSW Ambulance paramedics rushed to the scene, and the child was airlifted to the Children's Hospital at Westmead.
Sadly, despite the best efforts of medical staff, the toddler was declared dead upon arrival. This was confirmed by a NSW Police spokesperson, who said that the child had arrived in a critical condition and that doctors had done all they could to save them.
Lake Burrendong is a well-known holiday destination for families, with plenty of opportunities for boating, fishing and kayaking. It is a man-made reservoir, which can swell to three times the size of Sydney Harbour when it is full.
A NSW Police spokesperson released a statement on the incident: "A child has died after being struck by a vehicle in the state's Mid-West. Just before 11.00am on Saturday 6 January 2024, emergency services were called to a holiday park at Mumbil, about 75km south-east of Dubbo, following reports of a one-year-old child being struck by a vehicle.
“Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District arrived to find a one-year-old boy had been hit by a utility. The child was treated at the scene by ambulance paramedics before being airlifted to the Childrens Hospital at Westmead in a critical condition. A crime scene was established and an investigation into the incident has commenced.
"About 5.00pm today, police received notification that the child had died in hospital. Inquiries into the circumstances of the child's death continue."
