Car injures nine pedestrians at Kogarah
Nine people were injured, two of them critically, when a car ploughed into a group waiting at a bus stop in Sydney's south, today.

Police have cordoned off a section of Railway Parade, Kogarah, where a red Toyota Echo, its front windscreen cracked, stands about 10 metres from a bus stop.

L-plates lay on the ground and at least six shoes are strewn around the crash site, near the intersection of Montgomery Street.

A crushed pram is next to a bus stop sign which has been bent to within centimetres of the bitumen.

Ambulance NSW spokesman Neil Hargreaves said seven people were taken to four Sydney hospitals following the crash, which occurred just after 11am (AEST).

"We have two in a critical condition with head and chest injuries," Mr Hargreaves said.

"The remainder are in a serious condition and have lower (less serious) injuries including head, chest and pelvic injuries."

Three people have been taken to St George Hospital, two people have been taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital at Camperdown, one has been taken to Canterbury Hospital and one to Prince of Wales Hospital at Randwick.

"St George Hospital has received a number of walking wounded because the hospital is just around the corner," Mr Hargreaves said.

No word on the 6 month old baby that was thrown from the pram yet.
