Man fatally hit by Uber driver after falling asleep in Toowoomba driveway
A man has died after being run over in the driveway of his Toowoomba home by an Uber driver bringing his wife home from a night out.
It appeared that the man, aged in his 40s, had fallen asleep in the driveway before the Uber arrived about 12.50am today, Senior Sergeant Jamie Deacon told Seven News.
"Tragically when they've entered the driveway they haven't been able to see him because of the camber and the slope of the driveway and he has been run over," Sgt Deacon said.
Paramedics were called to the Upper Flagstone Creek home but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
His death was one of three on Queensland roads in the last 24 hours.
Two Taiwanese women were killed in a two-car crash near St George on Friday.
The pair, aged 25 and 27, were passengers in a car that collided with a 4WD.
They died at the scene, while the male drivers of both vehicles were not injured.
