Two drivers involved in a horror head-on car crash in Sydney's south remain fighting for life in hospital, as shocking footage obtained by 9News has showed the moment both vehicles collided. Emergency services were called to Heathcote Road, north of New Illawarra Road in Lucas Heights, about 2pm yesterday following reports four cars had been involved in a serious crash. Dashcam footage of the incident shows a Honda Civic, travelling south on the road, crossing a lane of traffic and then onto the wrong side of the road. The vehicle first nudged an oncoming Toyota Yaris before smashing head-on into a Honda Jazz, driven by 29-year-old male probationary police officer Timothy Proctor from the Liverpool City Area Command. Both the officer and the 65-year-old female driver of the Civic had to be cut free from their vehicles, and remain in critical conditions today at Liverpool Hospital more than 24 hours after the crash. It is understood the officer had just completed a training exercise at a facility in the area and was travelling in his private vehicle to Liverpool Police Station to drop off his firearm, at the time of the incident. After being pulled from the wreckage of his vehicle, he was placed into an induced coma at the scene. Following the initial point of impact, a Mitsubishi Triton driven by a 19-year-old woman crashed into the woman's Civic. The teenager, her 18-year-old male passenger and the 63-year-old driver of the Yaris all escaped injury.
