A young girl is fighting for her life after being hit by a car pulling out of a driveway on a suburban street in a horrific accident.

The 12-year-old girl was riding her e-scooter on a footpath on Main Road in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast at around 7:50am on Wednesday.

It is believed that she was trapped under the limousine.

The girl suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

A hospital spokesman told Daily Mail Australia her condition remained critical.

The 21-year-old woman who was driving the Kia 4 was also examined on site by paramedics and is assisting the police in their investigation.

The woman is believed to be a local resident and the car had a green P plate. The vehicle has plates registered to Victoria, the Courier Mail reported.

Police have set up a crime scene and are investigating the incident.

The 12-year-old girl was riding her e-scooter on a footpath on Main Road in Maroochydore (pictured) on the Sunshine Coast at around 7.50am on Wednesday.

Until the investigation is completed, officers have closed the main road in both directions.

The police will only allow residents of the affected area through if they can prove that they live nearby.

Passers-by had quickly rushed to help the girl, who was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Queensland Ambulance Service acting director of clinical operations Tony Hucker said the girl suffered injuries to her chest.

Inspector Michael Langsdorf urged drivers to drive carefully and always pay attention to their surroundings.

“I just want to remind everyone that we need to work together for road safety,” said Inspector Langsdorf.

“This applies regardless of whether you are driving a vehicle, walking on a sidewalk, or riding a bicycle or scooter.”

Inspector Langsdorf said the police did not yet know what the cause of the accident might have been.

Anyone with information, including dashcam footage, is asked to contact police.

The latest incident occurred after a woman was fined $250 after her vehicle struck an e-scooter rider on the driveway of her home.

The incident occurred in March outside her home in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, near Emu Flat in southern Western Australia.

The driver of the scooter fell to the ground and injured her pelvis, while the 26-year-old woman was driving the vehicle and immediately rushed to her aid.

The woman pleaded guilty in Kalgoorlie Local Court on Monday to failing to provide her name or address following the incident.
