A woman has been fatally hit by a truck while crossing a busy Sydney road at a pedestrian crossing.
The 61-year-old had dropped her car off to be serviced just moments before the accident on Pittwater Road at Brookvale, on Sydney's northern beaches, at around 9am on Friday.
Traffic and Highway Command Chief Inspector Phil Brooks said the woman was on a pedestrian crossing when she was struck.
It's believed the woman became trapped under the truck and was dragged along the road during the accident.
"Metropolitan crash investigation unit is continuing with that inquiry," Insp Brooks said.
