An 81-year-old woman is in the John Hunter Hospital with head and arm injuries after being hit by a car at Forster.
She was accidentally run over by her 77-year-old husband while waiting to be picked up in a car park yesterday.
It's believed as he attempted to collect her, his Ford Falcon accelerated, hitting her and dragging her several metres before she fell onto a concrete drain.
Police are yet to interview the driver.
The car has been seized for a mechanical inspection.
