Jerusalem court remands driver in hit-and-run for a week

The driver in a hit-and-run in Jerusalem last week that left an 11-year-old boy in critical condition is remanded into custody for another week.

Police investigators tell the traffic court in Jerusalem that 23-year-old Netanel Sandrusi was driving irresponsibly the night of the accident, and may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Sandrusi turned himself in to police yesterday following a weeklong manhunt for the driver. He maintains his innocence.

The child was rushed to the city’s Shaare Zedek hospital. He remains in critical condition.
