Police Seize Ute, Probe Driver After Suspected Hit-and-Run Kills 23-Year-Old Near Sydney

Detectives are examining a nearby Nissan Navara rollover for a possible connection.

Overview

  • Emergency crews were called about 7:45pm to Old Kurrajong Road in Richmond, where a passing motorist found a 23-year-old critically injured who died at the scene.
  • Police say early inquiries indicate he was struck by a vehicle that failed to stop, and a crime scene was established.
  • About an hour later, a Nissan Navara rolled into a paddock off Kurmond Road in North Richmond; CCTV captured the ute going down an embankment.
  • A 41-year-old man from the rollover was treated for minor injuries and taken to Westmead Hospital, and he is now under investigation with no charges laid.
  • Officers confiscated the ute for forensic examination and set up a second crime scene, as they appeal for witnesses and dashcam or mobile footage to contact Windsor Police Station or Crime Stoppers.
