Police are seeking assistance from the public as they investigate how a woman came to be seriously injured at North Wollongong last month.
About 11.40pm on Saturday 22 January 2022, emergency services were called to Stafford Street, North Wollongong, by a motorist who had run over a woman lying near the driveway of a liquor store car park.
The 21-year-old woman was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for significant injuries to her head and torso, before she was taken to Wollongong Hospital in a serious condition.
Officers attached to Wollongong Police District commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Anyone who knows the driver of the vehicle, or who has dashcam vision from this area about the relevant times, or who may have seen the woman prior to the incident, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
