EDS: Changes keyword from KERB



SYDNEY, April 9 AAP - Police have renewed their call for a hit-and-run driver to come
forward, after a young victim spent his 10th birthday in hospital with a broken jaw.

The boy, named only as Nethaniel, was sitting on a kerb in North Balgowlah, on Sydney's
northern beaches, at 5.20pm (AEST) on March 31 when he was struck by a dark-coloured utility
with a male driver.

The vehicle failed to stop and Nethaniel was rushed to hospital suffering fractures
to his hands and jaw.

Police appealed today for the driver of the vehicle to come forward, saying it was
possible he did not realise he had been involved in a crash.
