Police were called to an address in western Sydney around 5:20 a.m. where they found a destroyed family home (pictured) and a seriously injured 50-year-old woman.
New South Wales police and paramedics made desperate efforts to treat her before she died at the scene.
The three other residents of the house were unharmed.
A 29-year-old woman is said to have left the car and fled with her child in hand before being stopped by police near the crime scene.
The alleged driver was then arrested and taken to a nearby hospital for mandatory tests.
Both she and her child would have been unharmed.
“Agents from the Nepean Police Area Command have identified a crime scene, which will be investigated by specialized police from the Crash Investigation Unit,” the NSW Police Department said in a statement.
“An investigation has been launched into the circumstances of the crash.”

The gruesome wreckage left near the property shows the car pierced all the way through the house.
The impact crumpled the thin side walls of the building and left a trail of wreckage through the house.
Behind the house, the car stopped at a gazebo with household supplies and personal belongings strewn across the lawn – including a mattress and two halves of a leather armchair.
Police will continue to investigate on Saturday.
