Two students have been rushed to hospital after they were hit by a car outside school on Friday.
The students were seriously injured when the car hit them on Canberra Avenue outside St Edmund’s College in Griffith in Canberra at 9.20am.
NSW Police said the car hit ‘a number of cars’ in the area before it ran down the children.
The driver allegedly did not stop to check on the students and only exited the car after crashing it 1.5km down the road near St Christopher’s Cathedral in Manuka.
Both students were taken to nearby Canberra Hospital in serious conditions.
Officers allege the car had been stolen from Queanbeyan earlier in the day.
The driver has since been detained and is currently in custody.
Police have urged members of the public to avoid the area while dozens of officers continue working at the scene.
More to come.
