A grandmother who dedicated her life to her local church and volunteering at a primary school was one of two women killed in a horror crash involving an allegedly stolen car.

Maureen Crosland, aged 84, was on a heartfelt errand with a future family member, heading out to collect a wedding dress for her granddaughter’s upcoming nuptials.

The Alfa Romeo they were in was hit by a car that was allegedly speeding on the Old Hume Highway in Camden in south-west Sydney.

The car was allegedly stolen from a service station in Sydney’s south and police had tracked it for about 40 minutes before the fatal collision.

Tragically, both Crosland and her companion, 60-year-old Lee Casuscelli, lost their lives at the scene of the incident.

Crosland, who was preparing to welcome Casuscelli’s son into her family through marriage, is fondly remembered for her unwavering commitment to St John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Campbelltown. Her passing has left a profound void in the community.

“The sorrow was palpable, with many shedding tears over the tragic circumstances,” he continued.

He added, “They were en route with the groom’s mother to gather wedding dresses, making the loss even more heartbreaking.”
