ACT Policing is seeking information surrounding a collision in which a man died on Pialligo Avenue, between Oaks Estate Road and Scherger Drive, Majura last night, Sunday 27 February. It is believed the man was a pedestrian.

Police are also issuing an urgent appeal for any dash-cam footage captured in the area between 10pm and 11.30pm yesterday. 

Acting Inspector Ken Williams from ACT Road Policing said this investigation would present unique challenges. 

“At present, we are still working to establish what happened last night in the lead-up to this man’s death,” Acting Inspector Williams said. 

“It has happened in an isolated location, where no CCTV footage is available, but we believe there would have been several cars on Pialligo Avenue last night as several events had concluded around that time.  

“I am urging everyone who drove past the Fairbairn Plantation between ten and half past eleven last night to let police know what they saw. And anyone who saw a man walking on Pialligo Avenue should also contact police.  

“If you have dash-cam footage, please save the footage and get it to us, to help us find out what happened to this man. Every bit of information will help us complete that picture.” 

Anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has any information about the circumstances leading to the man’s death, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference 7045713.
