This specific section of road has been noted in the past for being a bit of a suicide hotspot as well. Late at night it can be quite a dark stretch with only your own headlights for company - no streetlights.
Regardless of the exact circumstances - the incident is a tragedy for all involved...
usually i see rock wallabies ,smaller darker colour than roo,s ,alot in that area

ok he was hit crossing the bridge, he has just 4 inches from the concrete rail and the fog line.
cars and trucks are doing a bear minimum 120 kph.
due to the verticle radius down/up hill your headlights only strech 5/10 mtr infront.
sporatic showers at the time.
he's torso or whats left of it; is right where the fencing is on the left, normally officer plod hides their.
he's arm was found ontop of the hill 500mtr ferther on.
alltho the media state he was hit at the exit. thats not the truth thats where he's arm was.

That's not where the forensics were setup, nor where the marks on the road are...
Not that it really matters.
