A THREE-year-old boy is fighting for his life after being hit by a car while pushing a trolley near Doveton.
The Cambodian boy, staying in Melbourne with his uncle for a holiday, pushed a laundry trolley onto the road when he was struck.

Seven paramedics worked on the boy, including the advanced life support team, before he was airlifted to the Alfred Hospital with chest injuries.

The boy's 20-year-old sister was taken to the Dandenong hospital with shock.

The boy arrived in Melbourne on Friday and was due to go back to Cambodia to see his parents in a few days, according to his uncle Hongly Un.

Sen Constable Allen Inderwisch said the female driver was coming over a crest in the road when the boy ran out in front of her.
