The other was pushed into the side of a building.

Both narrowly avoided being crushed by the vehicle as it drove down the footpath, and the pair stood straight up to check on each other.

Emergency services arrived a short time later and were seen speaking to the 39-year-old driver.

Both boys were hit but were not run over, and suffered only minor physical injuries. (9News)

The teenagers were both taken to Royal Perth Hospital with only minor physical injuries.
