Two pedestrians have been rushed to hospital with serious injuries after they were struck by a car that veered off a Launceston road overnight.
Emergency services were called to Hobart Road in Kings Meadows around 11pm on Tuesday after reports a car had lost control.
Police said the driver, a 23-year-old woman, “was not at the scene” when officers arrived.
Her car was found crashed into the fence of a home police say the man and woman had been walking past at the time.
The pedestrians, who are understood to have been trapped under the vehicle, were both taken to Launceston General Hospital for treatment.
Police say the driver involved was later located at an address in South Launceston.
She is currently in police custody for mandatory blood testing.
Crash investigators combed through the scene for around four hours, with police asking anyone with information about the crash to come forward.
