Labor MP Ed Husic was hospitalized this week after a car crash on Sydney's M7 motorway. The accident occurred on Tuesday evening, as the Chifley MP was on his way home from his electorate office around 6:20pm. Husic was involved in a collision with a Kenworth B Double truck and a Mazda ute. Emergency responders treated him on the scene and transported him to Westmead Hospital for evaluation and treatment.
Husic made a stable recovery but was discharged on Wednesday with minor injuries, including fractures and a concussion. The MP will be taking a brief leave from his parliamentary duties as he recuperates. Police have launched an investigation into the incident, and anyone with information or video footage is urged to contact Riverstone Police Station or Crime Stoppers.
Husic, a former industry minister, expressed gratitude for the medical care he received and the support of his friends and family during his hospital stay. Parliament is set to reconvene in Canberra on Tuesday following the July holiday break.
