The woman was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics for a laceration to her forehead and injury to her hips and her daughter sustained minor bruising to her head.

Both were conveyed to Cobar Hospital where they remain in a stable condition.

The 19-month old boy died at the scene.

A crime scene was established and officers from Darling River Local Area Command and the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit are investigating the incident and preparing a report for the information of the Coroner.

  • A shocking road tragedy. Hope the rest of the family make a quick physical recovery so they can come start to come to terms with the loss of their little one. I hope this isn’t an incident that the little one wasn’t correctly restrained as is the case far too often.
