A four-year-old girl has been airlifted to Dunedin Hospital in a critical condition after being hit by a car at Jack's Point, near Queenstown.
Police have cordoned off Jack's Point Rise after they were called to reports of a child struck by a vehicle at around 11.15am.
Detective Grant Miller,who is investigating the incident, said the child was walking with her mother when she was hit by a black Subaru four-wheel-drive this morning.
The driver of the vehicle is believed to be a woman, but Miller could not comment on the details around what happened in the lead up to the collision because "police are still trying to piece that together''.
