Man hands himself in after woman left for dead in hit and run

A man has handed himself into police after a woman was struck down in a hit and run accident in Brisbane overnight.

A 27-year-old woman was left lying on a road in Bowen Hills with a critical head injury after she was struck by a car that fled the scene.

She was found at about 1am today by another driver, who alerted emergency services.

The accident happened at the intersection of Campbell Street and Hamilton Place. 

A man has since handed himself into police to assist with their inquiries.

Police have seized a Queensland Rail heavy vehicle for forensic examination.

Authorities would like to speak to a number of drivers who stopped to help and anyone who was in the Bowen Hills area early this morning, especially if they may have dash cam footage.

The woman is receiving treatment in the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.

Police can be contacted on 131 444 or 1800 333 000.
