“Our understanding is she was hit from behind ... the car was travelling in the same direction.”
The woman was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane with life-threatening head injuries.
A witness found her unconscious and she has “remained that way” since the incident, Scott said.
“It’s left that young lady in a very serious situation,” he said.
“This particular victim is a daughter, she’s a sister and I’m sure we can all relate to that. And she’s just been left on the side of the road.
“It’s a very sad state of affairs.”
Police have released an image of a vehicle similar to the one that is believed to have left the scene as they hunt for the driver.
They have appealed to the driver to turn themselves in.
Investigations are continuing.
