NSW Ambulance Inspector Christian Holmes extended his condolences to the family of the van driver "in this difficult time". "The driver of the van sustained critical injuries in this accident and I'm sorry to say, he couldn't be saved," Mr Holmes said. "This school holiday period there are going to be more people out on the roads and we really urge everyone to take extra care. "Stay alert, stick to the speed limit and take plenty of breaks. "The weather of late has been very wet so it's important that everyone drives to the conditions, especially over the next few weeks. "At the end of the day we want everyone to make it home safely to their loved ones." Crash Unit Investigators are now examining the scene and are appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash or who has dashcam vision to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. https://www.9news.com.au/national/man-dies-after-crash-in-smithfield-in-sydneys-south-west/f0fb32bd-72fa-41f1-92bf-a953082cee64 Two killed in separate road collisions on Saturday Two people have died in separate road collisions in Sydney on Saturday, in a sobering start to the school holidays.
