A 70-year-old pedestrian has been transported to St Vincent’s Hospital in a critical condition this evening after being hit by a scooter in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs earlier tonight.
CareFlight’s rapid response helicopter was tasked just after 6.30pm, to attend a collision between a female pedestrian and a scooter near Military Road, Dover Heights.
The helicopter, with doctor and critical care paramedic onboard, landed in nearby Dudley Page Reserve opposite the crash scene just before 7pm.
