A 44-year-old man has been charged over an alleged hit-and-run which left a woman seriously injured in Moranbah, southwest of Mackay.
Police will allege the Mango Hill man was driving in a white Toyota Hilux southbound on Belshore St in the late hours of Saturday before he struck a female pedestrian.
“The pedestrian was transported to Moranbah Hospital and was later airlifted to Townsville University Hospital with serious injuries,” says a statement from the Queensland Police Service.

A Townsville Hospital and Health Service spokeswoman said the woman was in a stable condition as of Monday afternoon.
