Man dies while walking; driver charged after hours
This morning in the small town of Kingaroy, Queensland, a tragic hit-and-run incident occurred, resulting in the death of a local man. According to police, the victim, a 36-year-old, was out on an early morning walk with a friend when they were struck by a black Mercedes on First Avenue at around 5am. The car then fled the scene before any help could arrive.

Emergency services were quickly called to the scene, but unfortunately, the victim could not be saved and was declared dead. The victim's walking companion, a 27-year-old man, was taken to the hospital as a precaution. As the investigation began, authorities were able to track down the suspect's vehicle, a Mercedes, at an address on Boonenne Ellesmere Road in Taabinga, just a short distance from Kingaroy.

After further investigation, a 30-year-old man was arrested at the residence in connection with the hit-and-run. The incident caused First Avenue to be temporarily closed near Logan Road, and the public was asked to avoid the area. As the investigation continues, authorities are searching for both the car and the driver involved in the tragic incident.

It is truly heartbreaking to see such a tragic event occur in a quiet town like Kingaroy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim's family and loved ones during this difficult time. As the investigation progresses, we hope to see justice served for the victim and their loved ones.
