An emotionally charged courtroom has heard harrowing details of a Geelong man’s final moments after he was struck down and left for dead by an alleged hit-run driver just days before Christmas. The alleged driver, 27-year-old Lovely Banks cleaner Jamie Neskovski, appeared before a packed Geelong Magistrates Court on Monday flanked by three security officers. The court heard that after initially fleeing the scene Mr Neskovski allegedly returned two minutes later, even shining his headlights onto the dying man, before leaving again without rendering help. The court heard Mr Neskovski worked as full time cleaner at his father’s business that holds major corporate contracts with the likes of the Geelong Football Club and aged care homes.
