BY IAN CROUCH

The M1 Pacific Motorway has been reopened to traffic after a double fatality at Cameron Park.

A 28-year-old woman and an 8-year-old boy were killed after being hit by a truck in the southbound lanes near George Booth Drive just after 5.30pm on Sunday.

The pair were not related but were known to each other.

Police say a Toyota Tarago was parked on the shoulder of the motorway with its sliding door open.

A 57-year-old man who was driving the truck was treated for shock and taken to the John Hunter Hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing.

The M1 was closed for more than five hours while investigations took place.
