Pedestrian hit on footpath

A man will have his driver's licence reviewed after a car mounted a footpath in Warragul's central business district on Thursday afternoon.

Police said a female pedestrian, a 23-year-old from Longwarry, was struck in Smith St at about 3.35pm.
She was transported to Dandenong Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The driver, a 77-year-old from Noojee, and a passenger inside the vehicle were checked by paramedics at the scene but didn't require treatment.
Police said a red Subaru was reversing out of a carpark when it struck a grey Nissan Patrol travelling south along Smith St.
The vehicle drove forward where it struck a second parked vehicle and pushed it into a third. After travelling back and forth again, police said it appeared the driver hit the accelerator, mounted onto the footpath and travelled past several shop fronts before coming to a stop on a mounted bench seating near the intersection of Williams St.
The woman was on the footpath when she was struck.
Police said a licence review had been submitted and no further police action would be taken.
