A driver is dead after a car and truck collided south-east of Brisbane.
The accident happened about 3.10am Wednesday at the busy intersection of Finucane Road and Old Cleveland Road, Capalaba.
Paramedics treated the truck driver for cuts and he was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
The driver of the car wasn't able to be revived.
The intersection was blocked and was expected to remain blocked until about 9am.
A little more than an hour earlier, a pedestrian was struck by a car in an alleged hit and run on the Gold Coast.
Police said the 23-year-old man was walking on the Gold Coast Highway at 2.20am when he was struck by the car.
They alleged the driver failed to remain at the scene but later presented at a police station and was assisting police with their inquiries.
The pedestrian was taken to the Gold Coast University Hospital with a broken leg and cuts to his head, which were not believed to be life threatening.
