A WOMAN was thrown clear as a car ran over her mobility scooter in Kangaroo Flat on Wednesday.
A 93 year old woman was driving a white hatchback into the centre when the crash occurred, the Bendigo Highway Patrol's Senior Constable Levina Bell said.
Police believe she failed to give way to an 81 year old woman riding a mobility scooter on a pedestrian crossing.
The scooter rider suffered minor cuts and bruising but paramedics took her to Bendigo Hospital as a precaution given her age.
"She'll have a full assessment," Senior Constable Bell said.
"Although it's a low speed crash, it is a very significant one, especially when we start talking about people in their 80s.
"We just heed that everybody is a little more observant."
