A 36-year-old service station worker is in a critical condition after he was run over by a ute at Coffs Harbour, and a woman has been charged.
Emergency services raced to the United service station on Harbour Drive about 7pm on Tuesday, 20 October, after reports the man was trapped under a ute on the forecourt.
Members of the public gave him first aid until NSW Ambulance, Fire and Rescue NSW, and NSW SES arrived and freed him.
Paramedics treated him before he was taken to Coffs Harbour Hospital in a critical condition. He has since been airlifted to John Hunter Hospital.
Officers from 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.
Video from the scene shows multiple first responders from police, fire, ambulance, and SES working to free the man from under a black Mazda dual cab ute.
The alleged driver, a 44-year-old woman, underwent mandatory testing before she was taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station. She was charged with negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, and breach of bail.
She was refused bail and is due to appear in Bail Division Court 1 today, Wednesday, 21 October.
