POLICE have compiled evidence in a mammoth effort to track down the driver of a vehicle involved in the Logan Village fatality last Friday night.
A 22-year-old male motorcyclist died on the corner of Waterford Tamborine Road and Anzac Avenue shortly after 8.04pm on June 15 after the first on the scene made a heroic attempt to save his life.
The second vehicle, understood to be a white tip truck, was not at the scene when Emergency Services arrived.
Jimboomba police Senior Sergeant Peter Waugh said multiple witness statements and CCTV footage helped track down the movements of a small white tip truck before it collided with the motorbike.
“We believe the truck made a left turn from Easterly Street and pulled out in front of a motorist and came out onto Waterford Tamborine Road,” he said.
“The driver traveled the full length of Waterford Tamborine Road past the Logan Village Hotel and made a right hand turn on to Anzac Avenue.
“At that stage, the driver was involved in a traffic incident where a motorbike struck the left hand corner of the truck. The impact broke the rear tail light and police have those pieces of the vehicle and other evidence which was left at the scene.”
Police are completing a forensic analysis of the evidence.
The Queensland Police Service released a statement on the night of the fatality indicating the truck driver might not have been aware of the crash.
Six days into the investigation, Senior Sergeant Waugh said it was clear the truck driver would have been aware of the incident.
“Police believe that the driver of the truck would have known that a collision had occurred,” he said
“We have interviewed several witnesses and door knocked businesses in the area where CCTV footage has been obtained.
“We are also asking for residents living near Easterly Street who may know the identity of the truck driver or owner to contact police.”
“We think the truck has been involved with doing business there.”
Anyone with dash cam footage which can assist police are also encouraged to come forward.
