Two trauma doctors treat critically injured woman at fatal crash (Cecil Park)
Two NRMA CareFlight trauma doctors worked with emergency services to treat a woman who suffered multiple injuries in a triple fatal car crash at Cecil Park in Sydney’s south west today.
The critically injured woman was trapped in the sedan for over an hour.
NRMA CareFlight’s rapid response trauma team, ambulance, police and fire brigade rushed to the crash near the intersection of Elizabeth Drive and Mamre Road shortly before 1.30 pm.
The helicopter landed minutes later in a paddock adjacent to where a small tip truck and a sedan had collided.
Three people were killed in the crash – both drivers and a baby.
They worked with ambulance paramedics to treat the woman who suffered pelvic, leg and severe head injuries and severe blood loss.
The woman, believed to be aged 23, was given emergency blood transfusions then placed under an induced coma on a ventilator to control her breathing.
She was taken in a road ambulance, under continuing treatment by the NRMA CareFlight doctors, to Liverpool Hospital where she remained in an unstable and critical condition on arrival.
