She was suffering significant pelvic, leg and facial injuries.

“We treated her where she was, firstly bringing the bleeding under control, after which the patient showed some improved levels of consciousness,” NSW Ambulance Inspector Joe Ibrahim said.

Paramedics worked with the critical care team to stabilise her for transport.

She was then transported to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition.

“These injuries are life-threatening – and I really want to remind drivers and pedestrians to keep safety at the forefront of their minds,” Mr Ibrahim said.
