The widower of one of two women killed at the weekend after their car was hit by an allegedly stolen car in Sydney said she was “a wonderful lady”.
The pain is raw for Phillip Crosland after his wife and best friend of 60 years Maureen Crosland was killed in the crash on the Camden bypass.
“She was a terrific person,” he said.

Maureen was a volunteer at the local school, teaching reading and writing to kindy students.
“She was well respected too, the kids loved her.”
The 84-year old was in the car with good friend Lee Casuscelli.
They were off to buy dresses for an upcoming wedding.
“If it had been three seconds earlier or later they wouldn’t have been hit,” Phillip said.
It’s alleged Luke Francis stole a red Toyota sedan from a Hurstville petrol station, prompting a police pursuit.
On Saturday, NSW Police claimed the pursuit was terminated in the Bankstown area, however 9News has obtained CCTV footage that appeared to call that into question. (Nine)
On Saturday, NSW Police claimed the pursuit was terminated in the Bankstown area, however 9News has obtained CCTV footage that appeared to call that into question.
Footage at Bridgewater Boulevard in Camden Park, about 40 kilometres from Bankstown, about two minutes before the crash appears to show the stolen red Toyota and three unmarked police vehicles behind it with no lights or sirens, and then one marked police car with sirens on.
The stolen car then hits a dead end and comes back, crossing onto the wrong side of the road.
Again three unmarked police cars are just seconds behind.
Maureen’s family has this question for NSW Police.
“If the police called off the pursuit, how come they were there to chase him when he got out of the car?” Mr Crosland said.
Detectives with the critical incident team returned to nearby streets today searching for CCTV.
Mr Crosland has already lost two of his three children to meningitis and cancer, and now he’s lost the person he depended on the most.
“Terrible thing to happen I can’t explain it,” he said.
“Everything’s been taken away from me.”
