A six-year-old girl has been killed and her sister injured after an 86-year-old driver reversed her car into them in a supermarket carpark on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
The two girls were walking across a pedestrian crossing with their mother at the Nambour Mill Village at 12pm Sunday when they were struck by the hatchback.
The six-year-old was taken to Nambour Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Her eight-year-old sister was struck in the lower leg but police say she was fortunate not to receive life-threatening injuries.
Their mother, 37, is also being treated in hospital for minor injuries.
