A judge ordered for a hit-and-run driver to be arrested from his hospital bed and brought to court on Wednesday after the man failed to appear for the second time at a sentencing hearing for a crash which killed an elderly man in 2016.

Georges Youssef Geagea was due to appear at Parramatta District Court on Wednesday to be sentenced over a fatal road accident in which he struck and killed 73-year-old Zacharias Andreou at Condell Park, before dumping his damaged van at a wrecking yard.

He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving occasioning the death of Mr Andreou in August last year.

However, on Wednesday the bailed 51-year-old failed to appear at his sentencing hearing before Judge Andrew Colefax because he had been admitted to Bankstown Hospital on Tuesday night.
