Incident Overview
Three men are in critical condition after being struck by a car that mounted the footpath following a two-vehicle collision at a busy intersection in Blacktown, Sydney’s west, on Friday morning, November 7, 2025.

Emergency services were called shortly after 9:00 am to the intersection of Bungarribee Road and Lock Street following reports that multiple pedestrians had been hit.

Police said a westbound vehicle had collided with an eastbound vehicle, causing one car — a white Toyota Corolla — to veer off the road, flip onto its side, and plough into three men who were standing outside a nearby business on the southern side of the intersection.

The pedestrians, all believed to be aged between 20 and 30, sustained significant injuries. They were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being transported to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition.

“A westbound vehicle had collided with an eastbound vehicle, and the eastbound vehicle then collided with a number of pedestrians who were on the southern side of the intersection.” — Superintendent Andrew Gorman, NSW Police

Both drivers — a white Toyota Corolla driver and a maroon Honda CR-V driver, aged in their 20s and 30s — were also taken to Blacktown Hospital for mandatory testing.

A crime scene has been established, and investigators from the Crash Investigation Unit are examining the role of speed and traffic control signals in the crash.
