The notorious Appin Road has claimed another life. A 13 year old boy hit by a truck last week has died in hospital as a result of his injuries.
The incident took place around 3.30pm on Wednesday, October 11.
Emergency services were called to the intersection of Church Street and Appin Road, Appin, and on arrival officers from Campbelltown City Police Area Command were told that a 13-year-old boy had been struck by a truck.
The boy was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics on scene before he was taken to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead in a critical condition.
The truck driver, a 38-year-old man, was not injured and underwent mandatory testing at Campbelltown Hospital.
A crime scene was established, and investigations commenced into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Police were notified earlier this week that the boy has now died in hospital.
