Police are searching for the driver of a truck which hit a toddler on the Central Coast.
Emergency services were called to a service station on the Pacific Highway at Ourimbah at about 3.45pm on Thursday after a 2-year-old boy was hit by a white pantech truck as it was driven out of the service station.
The little boy was treated by paramedics before being flown to the John Hunter Hospital by the Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter in a serious but stable condition.
Police say he was placed in an induced coma as a precaution but miraculously escaped with only superficial cuts and grazes.
The driver didn't stop and was last seen driving north along the highway.
Investigators believe the driver may not be aware he'd struck the boy, who'd wandered away from his home nearby.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the the incident or has dash cam footage to contact Wyong Police on 4356 6099 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
