Two people are in hospital after an electric vehicle crashed into a Myer store at a major city shopping centre.

Emergency services are on the scene of a bizarre car crash inside a shopping centre that has put two people in hospital.

Paramedics were called to the Westfield Liverpool shopping complex in western Sydney about 12.30pm on Saturday after an electric car on display at the centre reportedly smashed into a Myer shopfront.

NSW Police believe a teenager was sitting in the vehicle within the complex when it accelerated forward smashing a glass panel.
