A driver who ran a red light and mowed through three children before fleeing the scene has momentarily dodged jail time after receiving his prison sentence.
The 19-year-old driver, Vansh Khanna, ran through a red light at a Pacific Highway intersection in Crows Nest in May, throwing three children through the air who were crossing to a green pedestrian light.
Dashcam footage from a driver just metres away shows the traffic lights turned red for several seconds before the horrific collision - and then Khanna fled the scene.
One of the boys, 13, was taken to Sydney Children's Hospital with serious yet not life-threatening injuries, while the other two 12-year-old boys sustained minor injuries.
Khanna, who is in Australia on a study visa, faced Manly Local Court on Thursday charged with several driving offences, including negligent driving causing grievous bodily harm and failing to stop and assist.
