Qld: Traffic controller killed after struck by car

A traffic controller at roadworks on the Bruce Highway north of Brisbane has been hit
and killed by a car.

Police say the 48-year-old man from Deception Bay was struck by a BMW near the Uhlmann
Road off-ramp at Burpengary around 10 o'clock last night.

The BMW driver had to be cut from his car and was taken to the Royal Brisbane Hospital
suffering serious injuries.

Police are investigating whether speed and driving in a closed lane were factors in the crash.
