A young boy and a woman were transported to hospitals after being struck by a vehicle in Cloverdale, a suburb of Perth, Australia, on Tuesday afternoon. The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. local time on Belgravia Street.
Emergency services, including police and ambulance crews, were dispatched to the scene following a call. The boy was taken by ambulance to Perth Children's Hospital, while the woman was transported to Royal Perth Hospital. Details regarding their current conditions have not been released.
A witness described the scene to 7News as "awful," reporting that they saw ambulance officers performing compressions on a small child. Following the collision, a significant portion of Belgravia Street was closed to traffic as authorities conducted an investigation. Officers were observed examining a grey Toyota that was reportedly stopped in the middle of the road.
Authorities remained at the location into Tuesday evening. The Daily Mail has reached out to WA Police for comment.
