The collision happened just before 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 13, at Bakers Choice on Watsonia Road. Surveillance footage shows the vehicle striking the women’s chairs, hurling them to the ground. One woman became trapped under the car as it continued forward and slammed into the neighboring cafe.
The driver had been parked next to the outdoor seating area and lost control while pulling away.
Injuries and Medical Response
One woman was transported to Royal Melbourne Hospital in serious condition, while the second was taken to Austin Hospital. Both are now stable.
