Speeding motorist causes damage

A speeding motorist caused considerable damage on Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, on Sunday, November 7, according to staff of the Member for Peats, Ms Marie Andrews.

A vehicle turned left off Railway St into Blackwall Rd on two wheels, crashed through the garden island and careered into bollards at the pedestrian crossing on the northern side.

The bollards were projected towards shopfronts, causing damage to the window of Ms Andrews' office.

A piece of the bollard also hit a pedestrian passing by.

The driver failed to stop.

However, it is understood that the father of the driver who was a passenger in the vehicle was treated at Woy Woy hospital.

The injured pedestrian was an elderly man who received treatment for his injuries but wished to remain nameless.

The window of Marie Andrews's office has since been replaced and holes left by the broken bollards have been filled with tar.
