NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the boy at the scene and confirmed said in a formal statement that he had sustained minor injuries but as a precaution was airlifted to Sydney Children’s Hospital via the Careflight Helicopter. Those present at the scene, however, say he was eventually taken by road ambulance.
The driver of the car was breath tested (and was negative) at the scene and was uninjured.
