A 66-year-old woman is in a critical condition after being run over by her own vehicle in what police allege was a violent carjacking incident outside a hospital in Melbourne’s south-east. The harrowing event unfolded at approximately 10:45am in the car park of Casey Hospital in Berwick. According to a report by Nine News, the woman had just parked her car and was helping her husband exit the vehicle when a man—who had moments earlier left the hospital premises—allegedly entered the driver’s seat of her car uninvited. In a desperate attempt to prevent the car from being stolen, the woman tried to intervene. But in doing so, she was struck by the vehicle as it accelerated away, leaving her seriously injured on the ground. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, and the woman, a resident of Upper Beaconsfield, was rushed to The Alfred Hospital. Authorities confirmed she remains in a critical condition and is receiving intensive medical care. The alleged offender fled the scene in the stolen vehicle, described as a 2012 brown Ford Territory, with the registration plate DEX 581. Police have launched a manhunt and are urging anyone with information or sightings of the vehicle to come forward. The incident has raised security concerns at the medical facility, especially as it occurred in broad daylight within a public car park.
