"It appears a pedestrian has been hit by one of the many B-double trucks coming through Bexley residential streets in order to dodge the NSW Government's new toll on the previously free M5 East tunnel," said resident Nick, who did not want to use his last name.
"Many had predicted it was only a matter of time before something like this happened, given a huge truck comes through our residential streets every 10-20 seconds, and sadly that's become a reality today, in just the first year of the toll.
"Previously TfNSW said they would 'wait for a year of data' on the impact these trucks have had on our streets.
"Well it's a year now and to no surprise they're doing nothing.
"No word yet on the condition of the poor person seemingly hit, very sad and entirely preventable if the NSW Government had not continued on this course of encouraging trucks out of safe tunnels and onto residential streets."
