A 10-year-old boy is fighting for his life after a wheel spun off a passing car and hit him at a bus stop in Sydney's north yesterday.
Police said the wheel came off a white Nissan Skyline travelling south on Lane Cove Road at North Ryde about 3.45pm.
It spun into the boy, who was standing at a bus stop on the side of the road, badly injuring his head, stomach and ankles.
Paramedics treated the boy on the side of the road before taking him to Westmead Children's Hospital, where he remained in a critical condition overnight.
Police seized the Skyline for mechanical examination and tested the driver, a 33-year-old Yagoona man, for drugs and alcohol.
Lane Cove Road was closed for about four hours while crash investigation officers investigated the site.
Police want to speak with anyone who might have seen the incident and has not yet spoken with police. Witnesses should call the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit on 9689 7370 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
