‘NSW Police family will be grieving’<\/p>\n
NSW Premier Chris Minns said his thoughts were with the officer’s family, friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n
“Every day our police officers put themselves in harm’s way to keep the rest of us safe, and today the entire NSW Police family will be grieving,” he said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“I’m also thinking of the officer injured in the crash and everyone who responded to this terrible scene.”<\/p>\n
NSW Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane said she was heartbroken by the news.<\/p>\n
“She was out working while most of us were asleep, protecting the community,” she said.<\/p>\n
Regent Street remains closed in both directions at Redfern between Lawson Street and Cleveland Street.<\/p>\n
Several bus routes have also been diverted from the area.<\/p>\n
Transport Management Centre said police investigations are expected to take some time, asking motorists to consider using alternative routes.<\/p>\n
