A mother with a pram has been rushed to hospital and her toddler miraculously left uninjured after a car veered onto the footpath near a major road in Sydney’s inner west.
Emergency services were called to Parramatta Rd near Catherine Street in Leichhardt around 4.30pm on Sunday following reports a Toyota Corolla had hit a 35-year-old woman with a pram.
The force of the crash sent the woman flying through the window of a nearby shop and the pram mangled. Incredibly, her 19-month-old child was not injured in the crash.
The woman was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital with leg injuries in a serious but stable condition.
The driver, an 18-year-old man, stopped in a nearby street after the crash. He was seen at the scene clasping his face in his hands.
He is speaking with police about the incident and has been taken to hospital for mandatory testing.
One lane of Parramatta Rd remains closed as inquiries continue.
Specialist officers form the Crash Investigation Unit are examining the scene.
