Police are continuing to investigate the death of a 19-year-old man near the Brooker Highway at Montrose early Saturday morning.
Inspector Jason Klug said that following a call for information yesterday, a man is assisting police with their enquiries.
"Following receipt of the autopsy report yesterday which suggested the man was likely struck by a vehicle, police put out a call for public information and have since spoken to a truck driver who is assisting with our enquiries."
"While it remains early in our investigation, at this stage information suggests the young man was squatting on the roadside, wearing dark clothing in an unlit area of the highway when he was not seen by the driver and struck by the truck."
"We have seized the truck we believe was involved, and several pieces of CCTV, which will be forensically examined."
"We'd like to thank members of our community who responded to our call for information - assistance from the public is vital in assisting with police investigations."
"If you have information that would assist our ongoing investigation, and you haven't already come forward, please do so."
Information can be provided to Glenorchy Police on 131 444 or to Crime Stoppers Tasmania on 1800 333 000 or crimestopperstas.com.au - information can be provided anonymously.
