A driver who allegedly hit a group of five people and killed two children in New South Wales has never held a driver's licence and was in possession of drugs at the time of the crash, police say. Police allege the 25-year-old male driver, who has never held a driver's licence, fled from the scene. "The incident was a complete tragedy for the families and the township of Wellington," NSW Police Acting Superintendent Natalie Antaw told reporters. "This is a tragic incident involving young children ... children makes it that much more difficult, our hearts go out to the families." NSW Ambulance on Tuesday admitted the crash scene was confronting.
