A boy who was lying next to bike before being struck by a ute in a hit and run incident is now in a stable condition, after being flown to a Sydney children’s hospital.

A 12-year-old boy remains in Sydney Children's Hospital after he was injured in a hit and run in Nowra on Monday.

A boy struck by a ute in a hit-and-run incident on the state’s south coast is in a stable condition at a Sydney hospital.

The 12-year-old boy was laying down next to his bike on McKay St, Nowra, when the ute ran over him and failed to stop about 6.30pm on Monday.

He was treated by paramedics at the scene, transported to Albion Park where he was flown to Sydney Children’s Hospital.

A hospital spokesman said the boy was in a stable condition and resting.

A South Coast Police District spokesman said the boy had suffered serious injuries, including fractures to the legs, pelvis and chest.

The 12-year-old was hit on McKay St, Nowra.

He said investigations were ongoing and called on anyone with information to come forward.

“No charges have been laid yet, but we are continuing to search for anyone who can help us with investigations,” he said.

The vehicle involved is described as an older model, light-coloured dual-cab utility with no canopy.

Investigators are still waiting to speak with the boy, as it’s unknown how he came to be lying on the road.

Police have been told the boy was seen riding along the road a short time before he was found injured.
