Man Charged in Central Coast Hit-and-Run

A man has been charged after allegedly failing to stop and assist after a collision with a pedestrian on the Central Coast last month.

About 2.55pm on Friday 7 February 2025, emergency services were called to Railway Crescent, Lisarow, following reports a child had been hit by a car.

At the scene, officers found a 12-year-old girl had been hit by a car while crossing the road before the vehicle allegedly left the scene.

NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the child at the scene before she was taken to John Hunter Hospital for the treatment of arm and leg injuries.

Police established a crime scene and officers from the Crash Investigation Unit commenced an investigation into the incident.

Following inquiries, officers attended a home in Lisarow yesterday (Monday 24 March 2025), where they spoke with a 43-year-old man.

He was issued a court attendance notice for fail to stop and assist after impact cause injury, and not give particulars to injured person.

Police will allege in court that the man failed to stop and render assistance or provide his particulars to the pedestrian following the crash.

He will appear before Gosford Local Court on Tuesday 29 April 2025.
