NSW:Mother and child's car hit by train

A mother and her young child are in hospital after the car they were travelling in
was hit by a freight train in the New South Wales central west.

Police say the crash happened near Gulgong about 11am (AEDT) when a Holden Commodore
crossed a railway line on Spring Creek Road in front of the train.

The 23-year-old female driver, from the Gulgong area, was flown to Westmead Hospital
suffering multiple, but not life-threatening injuries.

Her three-year-old son was flown to The Children's Hospital, Westmead, as a precaution.

A 25-year-old man from Nowra, travelling in the front passenger seat, was treated at
the scene for shock.
