Dramatic CCTV captured the horrific moment they were crossing with other pedestrians when they were hit.
Two pedestrians are fighting for their lives after they were struck by a car in Sydney’s southwest.
Emergency services were called to The Boulevarde in Lakemba about 1pm on Tuesday following reports of the crash.
CCTV footage appears to show a white Toyota Tarago striking the two pedestrians before crashing into two cars on the opposite side of the road.
Another two pedestrians can be seen escaping the collision by centimetres.
A woman, believed to be in her 30s, was treated at the scene before being taken to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition.
A man, believed to be in his 60s, was also taken to hospital in a critical condition, arriving at St George Hospital.
The driver, an 82-year-old man, was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital for mandatory testing and further assessment.
A witness told the Tarago appeared to run a red light before crashing into the pedestrians.
Another witness said the woman was unresponsive after the crash.
“Her ears were bleeding and [so was] her nose, and she was not talking,” she said.
The husband of a woman whose car was struck while stopped at a red light said she had been left deeply shaken.
“She just told me she had a big accident. It’s really bad. She’s very traumatised. She’s very scared,” he said.
“I came all the way from home to be with her, and then I saw this.”
