Officers were responding under lights and sirens to an incident involving a child seen running on the road, police say, when their vehicle collided with a red Kia sedan. The occupants \u2014 a 21-year-old P-plater and her 50-year-old aunt \u2014 were just 200m from home on their way to the shops.<\/p>\n
The impact was so violent that both vehicles came off the road, crashed through a fence and hit separate houses.<\/p>\n
Both women were trapped in the vehicle and unconscious. The driver was treated at the scene before being taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition, while her aunt was taken to Liverpool Hospital where she is also critical.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe couldn\u2019t do anything because the car was squashed,\u201d a witness said. \u201cYeah, no talking, no crying, just like bleeding.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two male police officers were taken to Liverpool Hospital for minor injuries and mandatory testing. No one inside the houses were injured but residents said it was a miracle there wasn\u2019t a third victim.<\/p>\n
The occupants of the house struck by the police vehicle told 7NEWS the room where the car landed is their baby son\u2019s bedroom, and that it was only by chance they weren\u2019t home when it happened. Otherwise, the child would have been enjoying his midday nap.<\/p>\n
A critical incident has been declared with investigations ongoing.<\/p>\n
