A one-year-old girl is fighting for her life after she was hit by a reversing four-wheel drive in the driveway of her Gold Coast home yesterday afternoon.
Taya Parker was struck by the vehicle outside her Burleigh Waters home at around 4pm.
She was taken to the nearby Gold Coast University Hospital but needed specialist care so has been transferred to Brisbane’s Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital, where she remains in a critical condition.
“The child is in a critical condition with life-threatening injuries,” Senior Sergeant Angelique Maloney said.
Taya’s parents Jayce and Jen Parker were both home at the time of the accident and are “very distraught”. They spent the night by Taya’s bedside.
Police are investigating.
