About 1.30pm on Wednesday, July 13 a 49-year-old man was crossing Banna Avenue on the marked pedestrian crossing about 150 metres east of Wayeela Street.

While on the pedestrian crossing the man was struck by a small to medium size white AWD wagon/SUV style vehicle.

The vehicle was being driven by a female with dark hair.

The white wagon failed to stop.
