A 17-year-old schoolboy has died and his classmate has been rushed to hospital after a car ploughed into them on a suburban Sydney street.

A silver Mitsubishi, driven by a 90-year-old woman, collided with the pair on Rembrandt Street, Carlingford, in Sydney‘s north-west, at about 11.20am on Thursday, and also smashed into a van.

One of the boys was reportedly pinned underneath the car while another was taken to Westmead Hospital on a stretcher.

The driver was taken to Westmead Hospital for mandatory testing.
