A Bunnings contractor who was struck in a hit and run incident in the Kotara store car park has been released from hospital.
Emergency services were called to the car park about 2.30pm following reports of a hit and run incident.
Bunnings confirmed the man hit, aged in his 40s, was a contractor at the store. He suffered head and leg injuries and was taken to the John Hunter Hospital in a serious condition, but has since been discharged.
The driver of the car, a black Mazda sedan, allegedly failed to stop and was last seen driving west on Carnley Avenue.
"The safety of our team, customers and contractors is a priority, and we don't tolerate dangerous or unsafe behaviour," Bunnings area manager Michael Staines said. "We'll continue to work closely with the relevant authorities as they investigate the incident."
