The heartbroken parents of two children killed when they were hit by a car in Sydney’s south-west yesterday have spoken of their shock, saying they forgive driver.<\/p>\n

The distraught parents of five-year-old Katherine and Harry, one, fought through tears on Thursday morning speaking of the crash near their Cabramatta home.<\/p>\n

“I can’t describe it, last night I couldn’t sleep,” their father Vundy Tha said.<\/p>\n

“Even the driver, I forgive him already.<\/p>\n

“Nothing can change, you know? Nothing can change. I couldn’t get my kid back.”<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old driver of the vehicle has not been charged by police and was taken to hospital for mandatory testing after the crash.<\/p>\n

The two children died after they were struck walking with their mother Sok Ram about 3:15pm at Joseph and Gilbert Street, Cabramatta, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“I’m not angry to the driver,” Ms Ram said.<\/p>\n

“I can’t believe it.”<\/p>\n

The pair were treated on the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics but died in hospital a short time later.<\/p>\n

Ms Ram recalled how they were hit by the car “walking from school”.<\/p>\n

“Why my kid die? Why, please, I hope it hit me, not my baby,” she said while being comforted by loved ones.<\/p>\n

Mr Tha said the couple’s daughter Katherine was “smart” and was due to get an award at school on Friday.<\/p>\n

He praised the efforts of several bystanders who he said lifted the car up to try and save his son and daughter.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for everyone, I wasn’t here, only one word for them: Appreciate them, thank you.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately I couldn’t be there, they couldn’t be saved.”<\/p>\n
