A five-year-old girl is in a serious condition after being hit by a car at Kingswood this afternoon.

The incident happened on the Great Western Highway outside the busy Kingswood shops.

The five-year-old, who unconfirmed reports suggest was chasing a dog at the time, was hit by a Nissan utility.

She was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead in a serious condition.

The driver of the utility – a 33-year-old man – was uninjured and was taken to hospital for mandatory testing.

There are reports that another child was also taken to hospital, potentially also hit by a vehicle, but this has not been confirmed by police.

Police have commenced an investigation into the incident.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000.
