A baby girl has died and a five-year-old girl is in a serious condition following a tragic incident in a shopping centre car park in south-west Sydney on Monday.
Emergency services were called to Brookfield Road, Minto, after reports a pedestrian had been hit by a car about 3.30pm.
Footage from the scene outside Minto Mall shows a crumpled pram between two vehicles, and a shopping trolley nearby.
NSW Police said they arrived to discover a five-month-old infant and five-year-old child in a serious condition after they were hit by a car.

The five-year-old child was also treated by paramedics, and then taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in a serious condition.
The 35-year-old driver was uninjured.
