Two women were seriously injured after being hit by a car in the community of Quarry Park on Tuesday.

It happened along Quarry Park Boulevard just after 9 p.m.

Police said the victims were walking on the sidewalk when the driver of a BMW M6 apparently lost control of her vehicle, hitting both pedestrians and also a small tree.

The victims, believed to be in their 30s, were rushed to hospital in serious but non-life-threatening condition.

Witnesses told Global News it appeared the driver was leaving a nearby car show when the incident happened.

“They were leaving the show and they turning left at the lights… and it sounded like they were doing some stunting – maybe some burnouts or maybe some fast accelerations – and the girl who was driving lost control and came up to the sidewalk there,” Evan Riegel said.
