Detectives have released dashcam video of the moments before a fatal crash killed teenage boy Taj Hart.
Emergency services were called to the scene around 3pm on 24 February following reports a man was suffering serious injuries after being struck by a ute on Old Southern Road in South Nowra.

They have since identified and seized the vehicle from a Currarong address and are undergoing forensic examination.

However, Mr Hart succumbed to his injuries at Shoalhaven District Memorial Hospital.
His older brother, Tyson told The Saturday Telegraph that Taj was walking to his friends place – a route he would take almost every day at the same time.
