Police investigators have released CCTV of an SUV after a man died following a fail-to-stop crash at Bangalow last month.
About 3.30am on Sunday, 6 July 2025, emergency services responded to reports a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle on Raftons Road, Bangalow.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the man; however, he died at the scene. He has since been identified as 64-year-old Paul Campton from Bangalow.
The vehicle left before police arrived.
Officers attached to Tweed/Byron Police District established a crime scene, which was examined by specialist police from the Crash Investigation Unit.
Following extensive investigations, police have released images of a black Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series seen being driven north along Granuaille Road immediately after the crash.
Investigators hope the driver and/or occupants at the time may have information vital to the inquiry.
Police believe the SUV is a 2008-2012 model, and there may have been damage to the front of the vehicle.
