Guildford crash: Baby and toddler among seven hurt

Seven people including a baby and toddler have been injured as a car crashed into pedestrians outside a shopping centre in Surrey.

A Volkswagen Polo hit "a number of people" in North Street outside the main entrance to Guildford's The Friary Centre at about 10:35 BST.

A one-year-old girl and a man aged in his 60s were airlifted to St George's Hospital, in Tooting, south London.

A two-year-old boy was taken to a hospital in Guildford after the crash.

The area around North Street has been closed.

South East Coast Ambulance said a woman was taken to the hospital in south London with leg injuries and three other women were treated at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford for injuries "not thought to have suffered life-threatening".

There is still a fair degree of shock and confusion and concern about what has happened here in Guildford this morning.

Eyewitnesses said the silver car was driving down North Street, coming down the hill, when it hit a bollard before running up on to the pavement.

We understand it then collided with a small red children's buggy - the type used in shopping centres for parents to push around kids.

An eyewitness said two young children were inside the buggy when it was hit.

Seven people in total have been taken to the hospital. The two occupants of the car are both reported to be elderly.
