Two women have been taken to hospital after they were hit by a vehicle in a carpark at a busy retail centre this morning.
The mother and daughter were standing together when they were hit by a reversing vehicle.
CareFlight’s rapid response rescue helicopter responded at 10.30am, landing in the neighbouring suburb of Springwood due to weather conditions.
NSW Police met the chopper and sent the critical care medical team to the scene.
A 65-year-old woman remained trapped under the car for over 90 minutes.
