Girl, 3, fighting for life after being hit by car

A three-year old girl is in a critical condition after being hit by car at Ormeau.

A three-year-old girl is fighting for life after being struck by a car on the Gold Coast.

Emergency services, including paramedics and police, arrived on scene near the corner of Goldmine Road and Harvester Rd, Ormeau, just before 9am Sunday.

Police said initial investigations indicated “the girl crossed Goldmine Road in between two parked vehicles and was hit by a Toyota Corolla which was travelling northbound”.

An off-duty registered nurse was at the scene and started CPR immediately.

The girl was stabilised before being taken to the Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition.

The 33-year-old female driver of the Corolla was not injured.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.

This morning’s scene is less than five minutes away from where a toddler was last month hit by a car when he walked onto the road near a playground on Halfway Drive.

It’s reported he was following his mother, who had already crossed just moments prior.
