A woman has been charged and a service station employee has been critically injured when he was runover at Coffs Harbour overnight.
Emergency services were called to Harbour Drive about 7pm yesterday (Tuesday 20 October 2026), responding to reports a 36-year-old man was trapped under a ute on a service station forecourt.
The man was initially rendered first aid by members of the public before NSW Ambulance, Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW SES attended and freed him.
He was treated by paramedics before being taken to Coffs Harbour Hospital in a critical condition. The man has now been airlifted to John Hunter Hospital.
The alleged driver of the ute, a 44-year-old woman, underwent mandatory testing before she was taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station where she was charged with negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, and breach of bail.
She’s been refused bail to appear in Bail Division Court 1 later today (Wednesday 21 October 2026).
Officers attached to Coffs/Clarence Police District have been told the man was checking fuel tank levels near the north-western side of the forecourt when the incident occurred.
