"She was unconscious for a little while, then she came round. She wasn't moving but she still had a heartbeat. After a minute or so she came around and started kicking and screaming."
Eketone said several women were attending to the girl before emergency services arrived.
"I hope she [the injured girl] is okay."
Eketone and a local parent said Taniwha St is used by drivers as a short cut.
"This street is so busy. There's no real pedestrian crossings ... It's a bit dangerous," said Eketone, a grandfather.
A person at the nearby Bumblebees Childcare Centre said they were in the middle of the situation as it was unfolding and unable to comment at the moment.
Previously, a section of the street was closed while emergency services treated the crash victim.
Due to a serious crash a section of Taniwha St (btwn West Tamaki Rd & Ingelwood St) in Glen Innes is now CLOSED. Diversions in place ^TP
