Group ignored man who died after fall, took his booze
A group in NSW’s southwest ignored a man who’d fallen off the back of their ute but they stopped to pick up alcohol that also fell out of the vehicle, police say.
The 31-year-old man, from Rochester in Victoria, died after striking his head on the road when he fell from the vehicle as it turned from Maude Road into Nap Nap Road at the town of Maude, in the early hours of this morning.
The man was one of several passengers in the rear of the ute at the time.
The ute’s driver and other passengers did nothing to help him.
