ACT Policing is currently searching for a man who may have been stranded west of Uriarra Village since Monday 27 April, 2020.

Police believe the man was the driver in a single-vehicle collision on Monday morning on a dirt road between Brindabella Road and Bullock Paddock Road.

The man, whose identity is not known, is described as being in his mid-to-late-twenties, and he was wearing black tracksuit pants, a grey hoodie, a black jacket, a black cap and red Nike reflective shoes.

Witnesses reported the man running from the scene and shortly after police began a search of the area.

About 6pm Monday, police received a report of a man matching his description on Brindabella Road, approximately three kilometres west of Uriarra Village. He was again not able to be located by police.

Police have continued searching for the man across Monday and yesterday, and although some items believed to have been in the man’s possession have been located, he has not. There are concerns for his welfare as he may have sustained injuries in the vehicle collision.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen the man, or interacted with him to call 131 444 to help police locate him and check on his welfare.

Anyone in the search area is asked to keep a lookout for the man, and to be aware of Search and Rescue personnel who are working in the region.
