Shocking footage of dog killed as man allegedly fails to stop his car in NSW beach suburb, Nelson Bay

Shocking footage has emerged of a dog who was killed in an alleged hit and run in an idyllic NSW beachside suburb. A 71-year-old man was walking his dog, Lulu, in Nelson Bay in Port Stephens just before 9am on Tuesday when the pair were allegedly struck by a car, which failed to stop and fled the scene. The man was walking on Stockton St near the roundabout at Church Street when he attempted to cross the road. He paused briefly at the pedestrian traffic island in the middle of the road, and was again walking when a vehicle described as a blue Ford Territory “or similar” entered the roundabout, clipping the man and killing eight-year-old Lulu. “The driver did not stop or provide details,” NSW police said in statement. Police are “hoping to speak to the driver of a blue Ford Territory wagon seen in the area at the time of the incident”. Anyone with information or dashcam or CCTV footage is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
