Toddler is seriously injured after being struck by a reversing car in a driveway in Sydney

A 21-month-old boy is in a serious condition after being hit by a car in Sydney’s inner-west. 

Emergency crews were called to Hunter Street in Strathfield about 3.50pm on Friday following reports a child had been struck by a car.

The boy suffered serious head injuries and has been taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.

It’s understood he was hit as the car reversed out of the driveway.

Multiple NSW Ambulance crews and a specialist medical team were sent to the scene. 

NSW Ambulance Inspector said: ‘Incidents like these are a parent’s and paramedic’s worst nightmare.’ 

‘As you can imagine arriving at a job like this is fairly horrendous, it was very upsetting for the first responders on scene.

‘Going to a job where a child is involved is extremely difficult for paramedics, the crews on scene work together to get the best possible outcome for our patients.’  

Pictures from the scene show police tape hung at the front of the house, as officers conducted their enquiries.
