Two elderly people have died in a head-on crash in southwest Sydney.
The man and woman, believed to be aged in their 70s, died when their car collided with a ute at Oran Park on Saturday.
Two people from the ute have been taken to Liverpool Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
It comes after the death of a 94-year-old woman on Saturday, a day after she was hit by a car while trying to cross the Princes Highway on NSW's south coast.
Police say the woman wasn't on a pedestrian crossing when she tried to cross the busy highway at Nowra on Friday.
She was hit by a car and died of head injuries in St George Hospital.
It's the third pedestrian death in the past few weeks.
An 84-year-old woman died on Thursday after being hit by a car while crossing a road in Bronte in Sydney's east.
And at the end of last month, a 76-year-old man was hit by a car while crossing a road at West Gosford and later died in hospital.
The deaths have prompted police to issue a warning to all road users.
"Sadly, 37 pedestrians have lost their lives on NSW roads so far this year, being nine more than this time last year," Assistant Commissioner John Hartley said.
He said drivers needed to remember pedestrians were difficult to see and their behaviour was sometimes unpredictable.
On Friday night, another road accident killed a man in regional NSW.
Police found the critically injured man in his ute after it hit a tree near Mudgee.
