“Police allege the offender was conducting burn outs and driving in a dangerous manner near the petrol bowsers at the Roadhouse.

“A 43-year-old male relative attempted to stop the offender. Police allege the offender turned the vehicle and drove straight at the victim. The victim tried to jump out of the way but was stuck by the vehicle.

“The victim sustained serious injuries to his leg and was taken to Alice Springs Hospital for treatment.”
