PREVIOUSLY:
A man and a woman believed to be in their 60s have been taken to hospital after being allegedly hit by a car on Little Bridge Street in Ballarat Central.
It's understood the couple were crossing the road near the pedestrian crossing about 1.30pm when the collision occurred.
According to Ambulance Victoria, they were taken to hospital with upper body injuries.
A witness at the scene said the scene was "horrific", and the sound of the collision was "like a big bang", stating one of the patients appeared unconscious.
Police quickly cordoned off the street, eventually allowing traffic to flow along one lane.
The incident follows a crash around the corner on Sturt Street and Grenville Street earlier this month, where a driver collided with three schoolchildren, who were then rushed to hospital.
Victoria Police Media has been contacted for more information.
