Police are investigating a serious crash on the Bass Highway in Devonport last night.
Police and emergency services were called to the scene about 8pm last night (17/5/25) after a 17 year old male youth was crossing the Bass Highway near the Homemaker Centre, Devonport.
The youth was struck by a westbound Nissan X Trail travelling at approximately 110kph, in the right hand lane.
The driver of the car stopped immediately to lend assistance and call for help.
The youth was treated at the scene and taken by ambulance to the North West Regional Hospital in Burnie with what are believed to be non life threatening injuries.
The Bass Highway was closed for around three hours while police Crash Investigaton Serices, Forensic Services, and SES volunteers attended and worked through the scene.
Initial investigations suggest the youth was part of a small group who had crossed the highway to buy food when he was struck.
The driver of the car had his two children in his car with him at the time. They were all understandably shaken, but uninjured.
Anyone with information including dash cam footage should contact Devonport Police on 131444.
