Traffic incident, Highfields (Toowoomba)

Police are investigating an incident at Highfields yesterday afternoon that has left a 58-year-old Toowoomba man with serious injuries.

Preliminary investigations suggest that around 3pm the man pulled over on the side of Cawdor Drive in his car and a white four-door 4WD utility pulled up behind him.

It is believed the male driver of the utility got out of the vehicle and assaulted the 58-year-old man with an unknown object.

The 58-year-old man exited his vehicle and was struck by the utility.
