Woman struck by car in Chatswood
Police continue to make inquiries after a woman was hit by a car on Sydney's north shore on Friday morning.
The self-described book nerd, who has a sizeable online following for her book reviews, suffered severe head injuries and remained in a critical condition on Friday evening.
Police said a Toyota sedan, driven by a 67-year-old man, mounted the kerb and clipped a pram before hitting a woman who was walking nearby.
The vehicle then crashed into a pole, hit a motorbike and flipped onto its side, coming to rest on the footpath outside a Chinese restaurant.
Police are understood to be investigating whether the man suffered a medical episode before crashing.
Witnesses said the driver appeared to be unconscious at the wheel.
Remarkably, the child in the pram was not injured but has been taken to a medical centre for precautionary checks. The child has no connection to Ms Croxon.
Originally from Davistown on the Central Coast, Ms Croxon moved to Chatswood recently and works in the city in office administration.
The blogger and book reviewer describes herself online as an "an avid reader, occasional writer, and lover of baked goods" who works full time and is doing a bachelor in professional writing and publishing via correspondence.
"I'm still deciding exactly what I want to do with my degree when I'm finished, but I'm hoping that I will have an epiphany soon," she wrote on her blog. "Right now I'm just happy to be learning new things and keeping my brain working!"
It's understood her mother and sister have rushed from the Central Coast to be by her side in Royal North Shore Hospital.
A witness, Oubie Elrish, was on Victoria Avenue getting coffee with his brother when the crash occurred in front of him.
"All we know is that he [the driver] mounted that curb, lady was walking that way, [the car] collected her, collected the second lady," Mr Elrish said.
"The second lady was alright, but the first lady was all bloodied and bruised. It wasn't a good sight.
"We just had her in our arms, and she wasn't too well."
He said it was "very lucky" only one person was injured, given how busy the shopping strip usually is.
The driver had to be removed from the car through the windscreen and he was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
He was taken to hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing, police said.
Police from North Shore Local Area Command, with the assistance of the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit, continue to investigate the incident.
