Two people are fighting for their lives after being hit by cars while crossing the road in two separate incidents in Brisbane on Wednesday.
Shortly after 4pm, a 27-year-old woman was hit by a car as she attempted to cross Stanley Street East in East Brisbane.
While the driver of the vehicle was not injured, the pedestrian was transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with “life-threatening-injuries”.
An hour later, police were called to Lutwyche Road, where a 26-year-old man was hit by a car as he left a hotel and crossed the road.
Police said the man was “attempting to cross the southbound lanes when he was struck before colliding with a second vehicle which had stopped at traffic lights”.
He was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with critical injuries.
The 34-year-old male driver of the first vehicle was taken to hospital and treated for shock.
Police are calling for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage of either of the areas at the time of the incidents to come forward.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating both incidents.
