Two eight-year-old boys have died and three girls are in hospital after a car crashed into a classroom in the Sydney suburb of Greenacre.
     One girl, aged nine, was in a serious condition, the other two, both aged eight, were stable, a police statement said. The female driver of the car, aged 52, was uninjured. Police said they did not believe the incident was deliberate.
     “Obviously this is a very, very tragic event,” NSW police acting assistant commissioner Stuart Smith said. Crash investigators and detectives from Bankstown local area command were investigating the circumstances that led to the accident.
