A woman riding on a mobility scooter that was hit by an out of control stolen car in Corio yesterday remains in hospital in a serious condition.
Major Collision Investigation Unit and Geelong Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating the crash that occurred in Shepherdson Road at around 5pm on Tuesday.
