Three men are in a critical condition after a car mounted a footpath and hit them following a collision.
The men were standing outside a business near the intersection of Bungarribee Road and Lock Street.
The two drivers have been taken to Blacktown Hospital for mandatory testing while police investigate.
Three men are in a critical condition after a car veered onto a footpath where they were standing following a collision with another vehicle in Sydney's west.
Police and emergency services responded just after 9am on Friday to reports three people had been struck at the intersection of Bungarribee Road and Lock Street in Blacktrown.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the men at the scene for multiple injuries before they were taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition.

Blacktown Police Area Command Superintendent Andrew Gorman said the pedestrians, aged between 20 and 30, had "significant injuries".
"A westbound vehicle had collided with an eastbound vehicle, and the eastern-bound vehicle then collided with a number of pedestrians who were on the southern side of the intersection," he said.
"It will form part of the investigation; speed and the traffic control signals at that intersection."

A man who was working from home at the time, heard a loud bang coming from the back of his house and went outside to see what had happened.
"It's very sad for the family involved in these crashes. It's very difficult to see, very hard to see this," he said.

Abu Naser Kabir has been in the area for nearly 10 years. 
He said Bungaribee Road was always busy and while there had been incidents in the past, they had "not been this bad".
"Unfortunately, in this intersection we've seen a lot of accidents … I believe this intersection needs to be improved significantly," he said.
Blacktown Police Area Command have established a crime scene and the Crash Investigation Unit are investigating.
