Driver charged over alleged hit-and-run on Mandurah Terrace

A 20-year-old man has been charged over an alleged hit-and-run in Mandurah.

Jakob Barlow is accused of deliberately mowing down TJ Wells as he walked across Mandurah Terrace around 12.30pm on Monday, December 1.

The Meadow Springs man allegedly failed to stop and help the injured 18-year-old, instead continuing in a northbound direction in a white Toyota Rav 4.

TJ suffered a gash to his head and several grazes after being flung into the air and landing on the road.

He was taken to Peel Health Campus by ambulance with non life-threatening injuries.
