A TODDLER has been killed when their family car was hit by a vehicle being pursued by police.
A man has been charged following the death of the two-year-old girl.
Police were pursuing a white Chrysler Voyager, which they allege was involved in two armed robberies in Peakhurst and East Hills last night, when it crashed into another car, a blue Subaru, on the Hume Highway at Ingleburn just before 7pm last night.
A two-year-old girl strapped in a capsule in the back of the other car suffered critical injuries in the accident.
She was pronounced dead on arrival at Liverpool Hospital.
Her parents suffered minor injuries in the collision, and were taken to Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition.
The two men in the Voyager were arrested at the crash scene.
They were taken to Liverpool Hospital, where one of them, aged 26, is still being treated. The other man was released into police custody.
He has since been charged with robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon.
He was refused bail to appear at Parramatta local court later today..
.
A NSW Police spokesman said last night that a Peakhurst bottle shop was held up shortly after 6pm, followed soon after by a second armed robbery of a bottle shop in Cook Crescent, East Hills.
In both robberies, two men allegedly produced weapons, and escaped from the scene in the Chrysler Voyager.
“A pursuit was initiated and continued along the Hume Highway, Ingleburn where it collided with a vehicle, resulting in the death of a 2-year-old child,’’ police said in the statement.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
