On the afternoon of November 6, 2024, Kate Ritchie was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on Dudley Street, Randwick, while driving her black BMW X5. Eyewitnesses reported that her vehicle collided with a parked Mitsubishi Pajero, which was then pushed into a parked Kia. Despite the significant damage to all three vehicles and the deployment of airbags in Ritchie's BMW, no injuries were reported, and the police did not attend the scene. After exchanging details with the driver of the Kia, Ritchie left to pick up her nine-year-old daughter, Mae. The incident resulted in substantial damage to all vehicles involved, with Ritchie's BMW suffering visible damage on the driver's side, including a mangled hood and exposed engine. According to witnesses, Ritchie did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol, and no roadside sobriety tests were administered. NSW Police were informed about the incident but subsequently stated that no police action was required. The drivers involved are expected to resolve the matter privately, which may lead to Kate Ritchie facing a costly repair bill. As a result of the crash, the drivers will bear the consequences of the incident and manage any claims that may arise. Kate Ritchie and her ex-husband Stuart Webb had a daughter together. They were married in 2010 but separated in 2020.
