Neighbours youngster Jimmy Williams is involved in a horrifying hit and run accident later this month.
The schoolboy is knocked off his bike when a car strikes him out in the road, leaving him injured and writhing in pain.
As the driver in question keeps on going rather than checking Jimmy (Darcy Tadich) is okay, it's left to his friend Charlie Hoyland to rush off and get the help that he desperately needs.

Jimmy's mum Amy (Zoe Cramond) is horrified when she hears about the accident, but it's Jack Callahan who takes charge after they both rush to the scene.
When Jimmy is admitted to hospital, his injuries initially seem minor but everyone gets a nasty surprise when his condition suddenly starts deteriorating rapidly.

Doctors soon discover that Jimmy's spleen has ruptured and he'll need surgery, so a panic-stricken Amy asks Jack to pray with her while she anxiously waits for news.
Although the accident itself remains a mystery, it doesn't take long before Mark Brennan has a prime suspect in mind - Steph Scully's old flame Belinda Bell.
With Belinda back in the area, Mark realises that Charlie's description of the driver's car matches the one that Belinda has been driving around.
Steph is quick to defend Belinda and accuses Mark of letting his jealousy cloud his judgement, but is he right or wrong on this one?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, July 12 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
