A young woman is fighting for life following a hit-and-run in western Sydney.
The woman, aged in her 20s, was crossing the road at the intersection of Woodville Rd and Kirrang Ave in Villawood just before 7.30am on Monday when she was struck by a car, police said.
'Police have been informed that the woman was on a pedestrian crossing when she was hit by a blue Hyundai hatch back,' the police said.
'The driver failed to stop and the vehicle was last seen driving south along Woodville Road.'
Paramedics treated the woman at the scene before rushing her to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition.
Specialist police from the Crash Investigation Unit are examining the scene.
Woodville Rd had been closed between Christiana St and the Hume Highway, but has since been reopened. Buses have also returned to normal routes.
Motorists are being advised to allow extra travel time while traffic conditions return to normal.
Police are urging anyone with information about the crash, or anyone who was in the area at the time with any available dashcam or mobile phone footage to contact the Fairfield Police Station or CrimeStoppers.
