A good Samaritan who stopped to ask a distressed-looking man if he needed help has described the moment she rolled out of the way of her vehicle after being car-jacked in broad daylight outside her parents' Lake Macquarie home.
The woman told Newcastle District Court on Monday that she was in her SUV when Colin Calgaret approached her on the afternoon of April 27 last year - she did not know he was on the run from police following a month-long crime spree.
