Police are investigating how a driver lost control of his Mazda, causing it to mount a path and hit a pedestrian in Strathfield, Sydney. The incident resulted in serious injuries to the 24-year-old woman, who is now in a stable condition in hospital. The driver, who was tested for drugs and alcohol, was released without charge.
Police are trying to work out how a driver lost control of his car before mounting a path and ploughing into a pedestrian in Sydney ’s inner-west. The runaway Mazda left the 24-year-old woman little time to react before it hit her and propelled her onto Liverpool Rd in Strathfield about 10pm on Tuesday.
Car mounts footpath and ploughs into woman. She sustained serious head and spinal injuries and is in a serious but stable condition in Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. Bystanders gave her first aid as she drifted in and out of consciousness and paramedics treated her for almost an hour before she could be taken to hospital. “I heard the thud first and this really sharp, piercing, spine-chilling scream,” one witness told 7NEWS.
