NSW:Coma woman's family appeal for help

The family of a woman fighting for her life in hospital after she was hit by a four-wheel
drive in Sydney's inner west last month has pleaded for witnesses to come forward.

Just before 4pm (AEST) on March 14 a maroon Lexus mounted the kerb along the Princes
Highway at St Peters and struck EMMA DE SILVA .. who was pushing a pram with her baby
daughter in it.

Ms DE SILVA remains in critical condition in a coma in hospital.

Her husband PETER says it's an hour by hour situation for his wife .. who endured three
miscarriages before she had ELOISE .. and it's their baby that's keeping him going.

Police want to identify a woman who held ELOISE until the ambulance arrived .. as well
as anyone who saw the Lexus before it mounted the kerb.

The 24-year-old driver has spoken to police but no charges have been laid.
