A woman from a nearby business said a female driver apparently witnessed the accident and called emergency services.
"There was a woman who saw the child fall and called the ambulance immediately, which I hope was in the child's favour.
"It was straight across the driveway from our work, we saw the child lying on the ground with their school bag and scooter on the footpath."
She said police cordoned off the area and they saw the child taken away in an ambulance
