Police are hunting for a driver after a deadly road rage attack.
Emergency services raced to Jersey Road in Blackett in Sydney’s outer west on reports a pedestrian had been hit by a car on Thursday morning.
“Officers attached to Mount Druitt Police Area Command arrived and found a 27-year-old man had been hit by a utility before it fled the scene,” the police said.
“The 27-year-old, who was wearing high visibility clothing, was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics but died at the scene.”
“Police have established a crime scene and detectives have launched an investigation into the incident.
“As investigations continue police are hoping to speak to the driver of the utility that was seen in the area at the time of the incident.
“The vehicle is described as being a white utility with a metal tray, a black canopy and a black toolbox with metal racks on top.”
The incident happened around 8.45am.
The police are urging anyone with dashcam footage, CCTV vision of information about the crash to call into Mt Druitt Police or Crime Stoppers.
Resident Debbie Cremen told ABC the road was known for being “pretty notorious”.
“I worked on the crossing here and I’d nearly been hit numerous times,” she said.
“I was walking children across and a car slammed into the street sign, or else the car would of hit me, and another car just ran straight into the back of it.”
