Tim had attended the Pistol Range at Lucas Hts for Firearm Training in his own private vehicle and was returning to Liverpool Police Station to return his firearm when this collision occurred.
It has to be asked whether this collision would have been survivable, for Tim, had he been in a modern police vehicle with air bags.
Tim’s Life Support was turned off on Friday morning due to the horrific and non survivable injuries that Timothy suffered in this collision.

Death of NSW Police Force officer, Probationary Constable Timothy Proctor

The NSW Police Force regrets to inform the community of the death of a serving police officer after a crash in Sydney’s south last week.

Probationary Constable Timothy Proctor, aged 29, died in hospital this morning (Sunday 3 February 2019) following a four-vehicle crash at Lucas Heights on Thursday 31 January 2019.

P/Cst Proctor attested as part of ‘Class 333’ on Friday 27 April 2018 and was working in general duties at Liverpool City Police Area Command.

Commissioner Mick Fuller has extended his condolences to the Proctor family on behalf of the NSW Police Force.

“My thoughts are with Timothy’s wife Dianne, his family, friends and colleagues at this incredibly difficult time,” Commissioner Fuller said.

“Timothy was certainly well on the way to a wonderful policing career and was well respected by his colleagues and all who knew him.

“He joined the Police Force after being a volunteer fire-fighter and had a tremendous passion and commitment for all emergency services and the community,” Commissioner Fuller said.

P/Cst Proctor’s family has requested their privacy at this time.


‘Well respected’ policeman Timothy Proctor dies after head-on collision

A NSW police officer who was involved in a head-on crash in Sydney’s south last week has died in hospital.

Timothy Proctor, 29, a probationary constable who worked in the Liverpool region, was driving northbound on Heathcote Road at Lucas Heights about 2pm on Thursday when a Honda Civic crossed to the wrong side of the road and crashed into him and two other cars.

Mr Proctor was cut out of his car and rushed to Liverpool hospital, where he remained in a critical condition until his death on Sunday morning.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller paid tribute to Mr Proctor’s time in the police force and offered his condolences to the man’s family.

“Timothy was certainly well on the way to a wonderful policing career and was well respected by his colleagues and all who knew him,” Commissioner Fuller said.

“He joined the police force after being a volunteer firefighter and had a tremendous passion and commitment for all emergency services and the community.

“My thoughts are with Timothy’s wife Dianne, his family, friends and colleagues at this incredibly difficult time,” he said.

Police Association of NSW president Tony King said his staff were “providing support on the ground with the family, friends and colleagues at the hospital since this tragedy unfolded and we will continue to support them as they attempt come to terms with the tragic loss”.

“Collisions like this are always difficult but it hits even harder when it one of your own involved,” Mr King said.

In the collision, the Honda Civic was driving southbound in the 100km/h zone when it failed to negotiate a bend, continuing straight and clipping a Toyota Yaris before it hit Mr Proctor’s red Honda Jazz.

The 65-year-old female driver of the Honda Civic was taken to Liverpool hospital, where she remained in a critical condition on Sunday.

Police said a Mitsubishi Triton which had been driving behind the officer was unable to stop in time and was also involved in the crash.

Two teenagers in the Triton and the driver of the Yaris were not injured.

Vision of the crash, broadcast by Nine News on Friday, shows the Civic travelling in the left-hand lane before it drifts across the middle lane and hits the officer’s oncoming hatchback.

Van driver Kamran Rowshanzadeh, whose dash cam recorded the crash, said he initially thought the car was trying to cut into his lane without using its indicator.

“Next thing I know it was actually drifting,” he said.

He was able to swerve around the cars as they impacted in the single northbound lane. “The car literally came off the ground and the back kicked up and I dodged it. It was just so sudden and so quick,” Mr Rowshanzadeh said.

He added that he heard the officer brake at the last second.

Mr Proctor graduated from the NSW Police Academy in April 2018, as part of class 333, and was one of 15 officers posted to the Liverpool region.

Speaking to the Liverpool City Champion shortly after his graduation, Mr Proctor said he was formerly a volunteer firefighter and had worked in IT repairing laptops before deciding to pursue a career in policing.

He said he had grown up in the area and noticed a “bad perception” of police, which he wanted to change.

Police continue to investigate the collision.

Shocking vision shows horror Sydney crash that left drivers, including junior cop, fighting for life

Warning: Graphic images below in this article.

Two drivers involved in a horror head-on car crash in Sydney’s south remain fighting for life in hospital, as shocking footage obtained by 9News has showed the moment both vehicles collided.

Emergency services were called to Heathcote Road, north of New Illawarra Road in Lucas Heights, about 2pm yesterday following reports four cars had been involved in a serious crash.

Dashcam footage of the incident shows a Honda Civic, travelling south on the road, crossing a lane of traffic and then onto the wrong side of the road.

The vehicle first nudged an oncoming Toyota Yaris before smashing head-on into a Honda Jazz, driven by 29-year-old male probationary police officer Timothy Proctor from the Liverpool City Area Command.

Both the officer and the 65-year-old female driver of the Civic had to be cut free from their vehicles, and remain in critical conditions today at Liverpool Hospital more than 24 hours after the crash.

Timothy PROCTOR

It is understood the officer had just completed a training exercise at a facility in the area and was travelling in his private vehicle to Liverpool Police Station to drop off his firearm, at the time of the incident.

After being pulled from the wreckage of his vehicle, he was placed into an induced coma at the scene.

Following the initial point of impact, a Mitsubishi Triton driven by a 19-year-old woman crashed into the woman’s Civic.

The teenager, her 18-year-old male passenger and the 63-year-old driver of the Yaris all escaped injury.

“Obviously, police turning up to a police officer injured is extremely upsetting for first responders – and it was a devastating accident,” acting inspector Melissa Thompson told reporters yesterday.

The horror collision forced the closure of Heathcote Road for six hours yesterday afternoon as major crash investigators examined the scene.

Witness Kamran Rowshanzadeh, an electrician from Moorebank who was on his way to a call-out job at the time of the incident, said he first thought the Civic was trying to cross into his lane at about 100km/h.

“It was split second, and the next thing I know is the high impact,” he told 9News.

“The car literally came off the ground and the back kicked up and I dodged it.

“I just heard (Mr Proctor) brake at the last second. It’s like 200km/h int a wall.

“Just thinking about it shakes you.”

Police are warning drivers to expect delays and make alternative arrangements if possible.
