Toddler run over twice in Campbelltown driveway
A toddler suffered serious injuries when run over by a vehicle in the driveway of a Campbelltown home in Sydney's south-west this afternoon.
Ambulance paramedics, police and the NRMA CareFlight trauma team rushed to the Richmond Avenue home following a "000" alert shortly before 3 pm.
The helicopter landed in the grounds of a nearby primary school to allow the doctor to team with Ambulance paramedics in treating the boy.
The NRMA CareFlight doctor said the 22-month-old boy suffered abdominal, head and back injuries when run over twice by the utility but remained conscious.
The tray of the ute apparently struck the boy who fell to the ground then was run over by a wheel.
After initial stabilisation the boy was placed on board the NRMA CareFlight helicopter and flown under full intensive care management to the Westmead Children's Hospital.
The boy remained in a serious but stable condition on arrival just after 4 pm.
