A man has been charged after two family members were killed in a crash with an allegedly stolen car in Sydney’s south-west.
The deadly collision occurred just after 11am yesterday, 40 minutes after an alleged assault at a service station in the city’s south.
It is alleged a 31-year-old man, known to authorities, punched a 25-year-old man at a service station on King Georges Road in South Hurstville at around 10.20am.

He then allegedly stole the keys to the man’s red sedan from his pocket and fled the scene.
Police found the car driving on King Georges Road in Beverly Hills; when it allegedly failed to stop and a chase began with the help of a nearby police helicopter.
The chase continued along the M5 but was stopped near Bankstown. The helicopter continued to track the driver over the next 40 minutes.
At about 11.10am, the allegedly stolen car crashed into an Alfa Romeo on the Old Hume Highway in Camden South.

Two women inside the car, aged 60 and 84, died at the scene.
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden said the women were part of the extended family and offered his condolences to their loved ones.
“They must be going through the absolute most tragic set of circumstances, absolutely devastating for that family,” he said.

McFadden defended the officers’ actions and said they were nowhere near the car when it crashed.
“I’ve watched the footage from our aviation support aircraft. I can tell you that there were no police vehicles around this driver,” he said.
The 31-year-old man allegedly fled the scene on foot but was arrested at gunpoint on Nepean Avenue in Camden.
He was taken to Campbelltown Hospital for mandatory testing and was then taken to Campbelltown Police Station.
The man has now been charged with 11 offences, including two counts of dangerous driving causing death, two counts of aggravated dangerous driving causing death, and failing to stop after a vehicle impact that caused death.
He was refused bail and will appear in court today.
Police have set up several crime scenes and the investigation will be reviewed by the Professional Standards Command and overseen by the independent Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.
Anyone with information or footage of the incident is urged to contact police.
