Horror moment woman, girl struck by car
A toddler and elderly woman have been struck by a car while crossing a busy intersection in Sydney’s southwest.

Dashcam footage shows the red vehicle purportedly speeding through the intersection of Old Glenfield Rd, before swerving to avoid an oncoming car turning into the other lane.

The vehicle’s driver – an 18-year-old man – was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition where he currently remains.
Officers from Campbelltown Police Area Command established a crime scene that was examined by specialist police from the Crash Investigation Unit.
A NSW Police spokesman said the investigation was ongoing and charges had not been laid.
