A man has been charged as investigations continue into a fatal fail to stop crash at Woy Woy on July 8.
Emergency services were called to Ocean Beach Road at Woy Woy at 7.50pm and found a woman critically injured.
NSW Ambulance paramedics and officers from Brisbane Water Police District treated the 68-year-old woman but she died at the scene.
Inquiries indicate the woman got off a bus and as she crossed the road, was initially struck by a vehicle being driven south before being thrown to the roadway where she was struck by a second vehicle.
The driver of the first vehicle allegedly failed to stop; the driver of the second vehicle – a Kia Cerato – stopped and rendered assistance.
The 60-year-old man was taken to Gosford Hospital for mandatory testing.
Officers attached to the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit (CIU) examined the scene and commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
As part of inquiries, investigators executed a crime scene warrant at a Central Coast home where a Volkswagen was seized and will undergo forensic examination.
At about 8am on Sunday, July 9, investigators returned to the home and arrested a 20-year-old man.
He was taken to Gosford Police Station and charged with fail to stop and assist after vehicle impact causing death.
The man was granted conditional bail to appear at Gosford Local Court on Wednesday, July 19.
