A teenager has been charged with negligent driving following an alleged car crash into a building in Parkes last night.

About 7.50pm on Thursday emergency services were called to a building in Clarinda Street following reports of a crash.

Upon arrival, officers attached to the Central West Police District found a car had allegedly crashed into the front of Roasted Kombi cafe.

Police were told the driver of the vehicle had narrowly missed a pedestrian – a 33-year-old woman – during the incident.

The driver then fled the scene by car.

The woman was assessed by NSW Ambulance paramedics onsite and taken to Parkes Hospital for treatment of shock.

The building was extensively damaged.

Following inquiries, about 8.15pm last night, officers arrested a 17-year-old boy at a caravan park on Albert Street, Parkes.

He was taken to Parkes Hospital for treatment to minor head injuries and for mandatory testing.

The teenager was then taken to Parkes Police Station where he was charged with negligent driving, drive recklessly/furiously or speed/manner dangerous, and not give particulars to owner of damaged property.

He was granted bail to appear at a children's court on Thursday January 9, 2025.

Owners of the Roasted Kombi Darrin Gibson and Debbie Mitchell found their large front window missing and their shop floor covered in shattered glass and broken furniture, sharing the state their cafe was left in on social media.

"That is a wrap for the Kombi for this year and into next year," they wrote.

"The most important point is that the young man involved is safe and sound in the hospital, we send our best wishes to him and his family, as well as the lady in the vicinity at the time.

"We will assess where we go from here. [Thanks] to all the community who helped out, we appreciate you and will see you on the flip side."
