Multiple children injured, two in cardiac arrest after car crashes into Sydney school
Two children have died and several have been injured after a car smashed through the wall of a demountable classroom in Sydney
The female driver of a Toyota Kluger hit the weatherboard building at Banksia Road Primary School in Greenacre about 9.45am on Tuesday.
Paramedics arrived to "a scene of carnage" with "distressed and overwhelmed children and teachers".
It was "pandemonium" and "distressing", NSW Ambulance superintendent Stephanie Radnidge told reporters.
"They were crying, they were distressed, some were asking for their parents."
The five were taken to Westmead Children's Hospital and a further 18 people were assessed on the school grounds, NSW Ambulance superintendent Stephanie Radnidge told reporters.
NSW Police later confirmed that two eight-year-old boys had died.
"Two boys, aged eight, were critically injured. They were taken to Westmead Children’s Hospital where they were pronounced deceased," NSW Police said in a statement.
Two chaplains were brought in to support paramedics and the victims.
The school became even more chaotic as frantic parents arrived to check on their children.
It's believed the car was within the school grounds when the incident happened.
The female driver of the car has been taken to hospital for mandatory blood and urine tests. She was uninjured.
Police have asked parents wanting to collect their children to use the Boronia Road school entrance.
