Police hunt driver who fatally reversed into 73yo man after argument
Officers are asking for the public's help to find a female driver allegedly behind a hit-and-run in Bega.
A woman in her 30s or 40s is sought by police after a fatal reverse collision in Bega, southern NSW. The victim was Trevor Fleet, a 73-year-old man who died four weeks after the incident on August 31. Police believe the suspect, a Caucasian woman, remains in the area and are appealing for public assistance. The woman reportedly reversed into Fleet following an argument, causing him to fall and sustain severe injuries.
Fleet's partner witnessed the event and is still traumatized. Police are particularly interested in a Caucasian woman with a solid build, five-and-a-half feet tall, blonde hair, wearing navy blue work pants and a dark long-sleeve jumper. She was driving a large silver SUV with NSW black and white number plates and a bull bar. Witnesses might have seen the collision, and any information, no matter how small, could be crucial to the investigation.
