A man has been arrested in relation to the death of a man in an alleged hit-and-run crash in NSW.
A 27-year-old man was allegedly hit by a ute during a road rage incident on Jersey Rd in Blackett, in Sydney’s west, on Thursday morning.
Officers discovered the man about 100m from his car, which investigators believe he got out of before being hit by the ute.

A 39-year-old man went to Mount Druitt Police Station about 6.30am on Friday and was arrested.
No charges have been confirmed at this stage.
Police believe the younger man felt threatened by a car following him, NSW Police Acting Inspector Shane Ranee said on Thursday.
“We have information that the same car hit the victim,” Ranee said.
“Apparently the victim had gotten out of the vehicle after being threatened by the car following him.
“Words were said, that’s what led us to believe it could have happened because of a road rage incident.”
The man, who was wearing high-visibility clothes, died at the scene.
Police believe he may have been dragged by the ute, which fled the scene.
“It’s devastating. I feel bad for the victim’s parents and the victim’s family,” Ranee said.
Police did not know if the victim and the driver knew each other before the incident.
Anyone with relevant information about the incident is urged to come forward.
