A disturbing incident in New South Wales' Lake Macquarie region has led to a man being charged with attempted murder. It all began when officers arrived at Harrison Street in Cardiff, a small town roughly 17km west of Newcastle, around 1:20am on Friday. They discovered a 36-year-old man who had been hit by a car and was injured on the road.
Immediately, paramedics were called to the scene to tend to the injured man before taking him to John Hunter Hospital for further treatment. It was a harrowing sight and everyone was on edge, trying to figure out what had happened. The police were quick to piece together the events and alleged that the man had been struck by a car which then fled the scene.
A thorough investigation ensued, and a crime scene was established to gather evidence. Eventually, the police tracked down the vehicle that was said to have been involved in the hit-and-run. It was found on Devon Street in Wallsend, and upon closer inspection, officers confirmed that it was indeed the one involved in the incident.
At the scene, a 24-year-old man was arrested and taken into custody. He has since been charged with a series of offences, including attempted murder, dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm, failing to stop, assault, and driving with a suspended license. The severity of the charges reflects the gravity of the situation and the potential harm that could have resulted.
The accused was refused bail and will appear at Parramatta Local Court today. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe and responsible driving. It also highlights the consequences of reckless and dangerous behavior on the road.
