Young Men Injured in Separate Horror Crashes Overnight

Two men in their 20s were rushed to Westmead Hospital with multiple injuries after two separate single-vehicle accidents in the Hawkesbury overnight. The accidents occurred within half an hour of each other early this morning.

Emergency services were confronted with distressing scenes at both crash sites, as shown in photos shared by Glossodia Rural Fire Service (RFS). Despite the severity of the incidents, both drivers were responsive when paramedics arrived.

The first accident took place just before 2 am at the intersection of Freemans Reach and Argyle Reach roads. A spokesperson for NSW Ambulance told the Hawkesbury Post that emergency services assessed the male driver aged in his 20's, who was transported to Westmead Hospital with multiple injuries. No other vehicles were involved.

Half an hour later at around 2:30 am, emergency crews responded to another crash in North Richmond on Kurmond Road. The second male driver, also in his 20s, was treated for serious injuries and transported to Westmead Hospital by road. Again no other vehicles were involved in the accident.

Glossodia RFS, which attended both incidents, warned drivers to remain cautious, especially during the early hours of the morning.

"Crews were faced with horrific scenes," Glossodia RFS said in a statement on social media. "Thankfully, both drivers were responsive and treated by paramedics before being transported to hospital. This is a massive reminder to please slow down and, if you're feeling tired, pull over and rest. Both drivers were very lucky, as this could have been much worse."
