Two boys have been charged following a police pursuit in Dubbo overnight that left a 79-year-old man with serious injuries after the stolen car the boys were driving collided with his.
Police say that at around 6.30pm on Sunday, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District responded to reports a white Toyota Camry had been stolen from an address on Wingewarra Street, Dubbo.
“Police conducted a canvass of the area and located the vehicle on Websdale Drive,” NSW Police said in a statement.
“Officers indicated for the driver to stop; however, the vehicle drove away from police and a pursuit was initiated.
“A short time later, the Camry collided with a vehicle at the intersection of Taylor and Tamworth streets, causing both vehicles to come to stop.”
The driver of the second vehicle, a 79-year-old man, was treated at the scene for multiple injuries. He was taken to Dubbo Base Hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition.
The occupants of the stolen Camry, two boys aged 13, were arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station. Both have been charged with multiple offences.
The boys were not injured in the collision. They were both refused bail to appear before a children’s court today.
