QLD:Truck driver wanted over fatal hit and run

Police are looking for a truck driver who fatally sideswiped a man on Ipswich Road in Brisbane.

A 62-year-old man pulled over onto the shoulder of the road at Rocklea .. getting out
to adjust his windscreen wipers when a truck hit him yesterday afternoon.

He died at the scene and his 57-year-old female passenger was transported to the Princess
Alexandra Hospital suffering shock.

The truckie didn't stop and police are appealing for anyone who saw a truck acting
strangely in the area to come forward.
