"It picked up a big bush and then smacked my dad and he just got pushed," Rory said.

The group of three were hit while trying to catch a rabbit.

"The rabbit ran across four lanes of traffic and ended up over here in this garden," Rory's mother Emma Cullen said.

The driver of the Ford Territory allegedly crossed onto the wrong side of Scarborough Beach Road.

A brick wall and a bush were hit before the pedestrians and so took on most of the force.

The driver was a man in his 30s and was taken to hospital to be assessed for any injuries.

The cause of the crash remains unknown, with police investigating.
