Hit and run, Rocklea
Police are appealing for assistance after a motorcyclist was hit by a car in Rocklea this morning.
Around 8:30am officers were called to the inbound side of the Ipswich Motorway following reports a white utility had struck a motorbike and left the scene.
A black Triumph motorcycle was travelling inbound on the motorway between the Granard Road exit and the Sherwood Road exit about half an hour earlier.
Initial investigations suggest the white trayback was being driven dangerously through traffic before forcing the 35-year-old rider from Heathwood off the road.
He became stuck on the tray of the ute for a few metres before he was able to detach himself and subsequently crashed the bike.
The white utility was last seen speeding off and the motorcyclist was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident caused significant delays to traffic.
Investigators are appealing for anyone with dash cam vision or information to contact police.
