UPDATE WEDNESDAY
Police believe a woman suffered a medical condition before she crashed her car at Carlton on Tuesday.
Rockdale Councillor Liz Barlow owns a cafe opposite the crash scene and said the crash happened within seconds.
‘’Everyone was just shocked,’’ she said.
‘’It happened between trains so it could have been a lot worse.’’
She called triple-0 immediately after the crash happened.
‘’She [the driver] was just flying,’’ she said.
‘’I saw her hit the other car and then into the railing. The car was up in the air.’’
UPDATE
A woman has died after she hit a teenage pedestrian with her car in Sydney's south on Tuesday afternoon.
The 50-year-old was driving along Carlton Road in Carlton at around 3.30pm when a 16-year-old started to cross the road.
He was hit by the car, leaving him with serious injuries, while the impact threw the woman from her car.
Emergency services were called and attempted to revive the woman, but she died at the scene.
Footage from the scene of the crash showed a red hatchback with a smashed windscreen and bonnet mounted on the footpath near a pedestrian crossing.
The car, surrounded by debris and with its engine on the footpath, was propped at an angle on a fence, while a nearby silver SUV also rested on the footpath and appeared to have minor damage.
The 16-year-old was taken by ambulance to nearby St George Hospital with injuries to his face and elbows and suspected internal injuries.
He was in a stable condition on Tuesday evening.
Witnesses told media the car came "flying" up a one-way street, lost control coming around a corner and hit a parked car. Then there was a loud "boom" as the car struck the fence.
"It didn't seem like it was going to stop," Zac El Hassan said.
"She [the driver] went through, like, the passenger window. It's a bad image. I can't get it out of my head."
Accident investigators remained at the scene on Tuesday night.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
