About 3.40pm on Thursday (7 November 2024) police were called to an incident at the intersection of Palmer Street and Bateson Road where a 67-year-old man had been struck by a vehicle.
The 67-year-old had been involved in a minor nose to tail collision immediately prior to this incident and was exchanging details with the other driver.
