A woman has been charged with murder over a hit-and-run crash that claimed the life of a young mum in Logan, with police alleging it was a targeted attack.
Kiesha Thompson died in hospital hours after she was hit by a silver Toyota Prado on a footpath along Allamanda Drive in Daisy Hill around 9am on Friday, July 19.
It’s understood the 23-year-old had just dropped her daughter off at daycare when she was struck by the vehicle.
“It will be alleged the woman driving the silver Toyota Prado was known to the pedestrian and deliberately drove at and struck her before fleeing the scene,” Queensland Police said.
Following ongoing investigations, police executed a search warrant at a Goodna property on Saturday, July 20, where they seized a silver Toyota Prado.
A 24-year-old Goodna woman was then taken into police custody in Yamanto before being charged with one count of murder.
She is due to appear at Ipswich Magistrates Court today.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
Police are appealing for witnesses, particularly the driver and passengers on board a bus that was travelling along Allamanda Drive at approximately 8.50am on Friday, July 19, to come forward.
Motorists, including anyone with dashcam vision, who were travelling in the Daisy Hill area near Allamanda Drive between 5am and 10am on Friday, July 19, are also urged to contact police.
