The heartbreaking details of the final moments of two women killed in a fatal car crash in Sydney have come to light.
Lee Casuscelli was driving to buy a dress for her daughter’s upcoming June wedding, alongside the grandmother of her daughter’s fiancé.
Sixty-year-old Casuscelli and 84-year-old Maureen Crosland died after their car was hit by an allegedly stolen car on Saturday.
Casuscelli’s distraught husband and son were both seen at the crash site in the wake of the crash.
The two women had been waiting at a set of traffic lights on the Camden off ramp when they were hit.
Luke Peter Francis, the man police believe was behind the wheel of the other car had allegedly led police on a pursuit from Husrtville in Sydney’s south.
He allegedly assaulted a man and stole his car before fleeing to the southwest.
Francis has been charged with 11 offences including two counts of dangerous driving occasioning death, two counts of aggravated dangerous driving occasioning death, not stopping during a police pursuit, failing to stop and assist after a crash causing death.
He appeared in court on Sunday and made no application for bail. He will next appear in Campbelltown Court on February 26.
Casuscelli had more the 40 years’ experience across educational sectors, including early childhood and specialised services for children with disabilities.
She founded ‘Everyone Can Dance’, a dance charity for disadvantaged and disabled children, dedicating much of her time to those less fortunate.
Tributes have been pouring in for the women overnight on Facebook.
“Both ladies were exceptional at their work and generous with their time,” said Annette Read.
“My heart was shattered when I was told this. A beautiful woman – the loss is unimaginable,” wrote Chrissy Craig.
“Lee was a beautiful soul! Devoted to her children all around Sydney with her kind heart,” said another mourner.
Members of the public are encouraged to support Everyone Can Dance here.
