1. Three-year-old boy dies after his pram is hit by a car.
Tragedy overnight as a three-year-old boy dies after he was struck by a car as his father pushed him in a pram on a footpath in the Sydney suburb of Granville late yesterday.
Police said two vehicles collided and one of them, a Tarago mini-van, struck the pram containing the little boy crushing him against a wall. He was rushed to hospital but died several hours later.
The boy went into cardiac arrest after he was hit and paramedics performed CPR on him at the scene.
The 37-year-old male driver was taken to Westmead hospital for non life-threatening head and abdominal injuries.
A local told Fairfax Media she heard a loud bang followed by a woman screaming.
“Everyone was on their phones trying to get through to the ambulance,” said the resident who asked not to be named.
“[The paramedics] were fussing around the child, which was understandable,” she said.
The resident said she comforted the driver of the Tarago
“He wasn’t in a good way either. He was having trouble breathing and was frothing at the mouth,” she said.

100 000 is not wealthy- it is middle of the road- I bet most of his income goes on the mortgage like everyone else. He is not poor but it is not wealthy.
It's a little confusing as wealth and income aren't the same thing. 100k with 3 kids living in Sydney or a single guy on 100k living in Hobart are probably quite different circumstances.
C'mon, you know people in this country only live in Melbourne or Sydney!!
Either way, $100K is quite far above average income, so picking that as representative of 'the (wo)man in the street' is completely inaccurate.
