Woman ******* by tree branch as NSW lashed by wild winds

A woman has been ******* after a tree branch fell on her at a street in Sydney’s southwest, as wild winds of up to 100km cause chaos across coastal NSW.

Emergency services were called to Castlereigh St in Liverpool about 1pm on Sunday following reports a tree branch had fallen on a woman.

NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the woman – believed to be aged in her 60s – at the scene, but she could not be revived.

Officers attached to Liverpool City Police Area Command attended the scene and have commenced inquiries.

The woman has not been formally identified, with a report to be prepared for the coroner.

It comes after the Bureau of Meteorology issued a damaging wind warning for swathes of coastal NSW, from Narooma on the south coast to as far north as Foster.

The Bureau said winds averaging between 60-70km with peak gusts of up 100km were expected for the millions of residents across those regions.

As of 10.30am, sustained winds of 69km were reported at Wattamolla with a peak gust recorded at 91km.

More to come.
