A 44-year-old female and her nine-year-old daughter were travelling inbound on Chung Wah Terrace towards Temple Terrace in a red Kia Cerato. It is alleged that as they proceeded through the Temple Terrace roundabout, a small white truck travelling in the same direction struck the passenger side of their vehicle causing substantial damage.

The driver of the second vehicle failed to stop and continued along Chung Wah Terrace towards University Avenue. The vehicle is believed to have had a silver tool box on the rear.

The woman and child were not injured in the incident.
