A 22-year-old man has been charged following a disturbing incident in Port Stephens last week. Last Friday, emergency services rushed to Somerset Drive, North Arm Cove, after receiving reports of two pedestrians struck by a car allegedly performing burnouts. The driver purportedly lost control, hitting a power pole and the individuals nearby before fleeing the scene, leaving the vehicle ablaze.
