Preschoolers escape truck crash
Motorists and pedestrians escaped injury when a driverless five-tonne truck rolled 70 metres across busy Victoria Road and smashed through a church wall near a preschool in Gladesville today.
Death causes rail chaos
Commuters are warned to expect massive delays after a person was struck by a train and killed at inner-Sydney's Central station.
The person was struck as the train pulled into platform 25, which services the Illawarra line, a CityRail spokesman said.
Passengers in the rear carriages were forced to walk along the tunnel and use ladders to access the platform.
The spokesman said there were currently no trains operating between Bondi Junction and Town Hall station.
Trains were running between Central and Cronulla and Waterfall, he said.
