A pregnant woman visiting Perth Radiological Clinic at Nollamara for her eight-week scan was launched into the air by a car as it ploughed into the side of the centre
The quick moving car drove over a safety bollard - placed in front of the car park following a similar incident - and struck a pregnant woman entering the clinic before landing in reception.
The expectant mother, aged in her 20s, was walking towards the entrance of the building to have her eight-week scan when the car hit her and she was thrown over the bonnet.
She landed in a nearby garden bed and was helped to her car, where she was taken to Royal Perth Hospital for treatment.
It is understood she was discharged later that night.
