Smart summary
Emergency services responded after a vehicle struck a woman and child in a pram on George Street, Bathurst.
A serious road incident in Bathurst CBD has raised renewed concerns about pedestrian safety after a woman and a young child were injured after being struck by a vehicle on George Street.
Emergency services were called to the scene following reports of a collision involving pedestrians and a car. Police, ambulance crews and other emergency responders attended the area and provided assistance while securing the location for investigation.
The incident occurred in a busy part of Bathurst, where pedestrians, shoppers, local businesses and vehicles regularly share the same spaces. Authorities responded quickly to assess the injuries and ensure the area was safe while investigations began into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
The woman, aged in her 20s, and the child who was in a pram were treated following the collision. Emergency crews worked to provide medical assistance and assess the severity of their injuries. Further information about their condition was expected as investigations continued.
Police began examining the scene to understand how the crash happened. Investigators are expected to consider several factors, including vehicle movement, driver behaviour, road conditions and pedestrian activity at the time of the incident.
Road safety remains an important issue across regional NSW, with authorities continuing to encourage drivers to take extra care in areas with high pedestrian activity.

The incident has also highlighted the importance of safe driving practices, including avoiding distractions, maintaining awareness around crossings and giving pedestrians enough space in busy areas.
Community members have expressed concern following the crash, with many hoping for the recovery of those injured and supporting continued improvements to road safety measures.
