The Northern Territory Police Force is calling for information in relation to a pedestrian strike that occurred in Coolalinga yesterday evening.
Around 6:45pm, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre received a report that a 71-year-old male had been struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross the Stuart Highway in Coolalinga. Police believe the male was struck in the outbound lanes.
The male was allegedly struck by a boat trailer being towed by an unknown vehicle, and it is likely that the occupants of the vehicle were unaware of the collision.
