Kenedy Kipkorir sentenced over Guildford hit-and-run at intersection of Military, Byron roads

A driver only stopped his car for about five seconds after ploughing into an e-bike rider in Sydney’s west. Now, after being busted nearby, the callous construction worker has learned his punishment.

Kenedy Kipkorir left a man with a broken leg in Sydney’s west.

A driver failed to help a seriously wounded e-bike rider after ploughing into the cyclist in Sydney’s west, stopping for only a few seconds before fleeing the scene and parking nearby.

Construction worker Kenedy Kipkorir, 30, received a six-month community correction order over the hit-and-run, which occurred at an intersection in Guildford, when he was convicted and sentenced in Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday.

The married father, who lives in the Newcastle suburb of Beresfield with his pregnant wife and child, had previously pleaded guilty to charges of negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm and failing to stop and assist after vehicle impact causing grievous bodily harm.

Kipkorir was driving his white Toyota Camry along an industrial area in Military Rd when he started making a right turn into Byron Rd shortly after 5am on April 27.

But he failed to give way to the 53-year-old Cavalier e-bike rider, who had his headlight illuminated, causing the victim to hit the front of his car and fall onto the road.

“Kipkorir stopped the white Camry for about five seconds, then continued driving in a westerly direction on Military Rd,’’ police facts tendered to the court said.

“The accused has shown no remorse or care in relation to the welfare of the victim.’’

The victim suffered a fracture to his left leg and was rushed to Liverpool Hospital, where he underwent surgery.

The T-style intersection has no give way or stop signage, or road markings.

Almost five hours after the collision, Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit officers were conducting a CCTV canvas of Byron Rd where they saw Kipkorir’s car parked outside a house.

“Investigators observed damage to the front off-side of the vehicle consistent with being involved in a collision,’’ police facts stated.

Officers took Kipkorir to Granville Police Station, where he was subsequently charged.

On Wednesday, he was also banned from driving for 12 months from the date of the incident, meaning he will be able to get back behind the wheel in late April 2025.
