Police allege 45-year-old Lacey-Jay Bullock deliberately drove into her 50-year-old partner, Bradly, in a Holden Commodore.

The 50-year-old man was found unresponsive suffering significant injuries.

Neighbours told 7NEWS Bradly had allegedly been trying to stop his wife from driving away when he was struck by the car.

Security guard Kyle Wilford, who has medical training, was among the first people to reach the man.

“I went down and found a male laying on the floor, unresponsive. I started CPR straight away,” he said.

Bradly was reportedly unconscious, bleeding heavily and had suffered a fractured skull.

“It wasn’t looking good from the moment, unfortunately. There was no pulse. The eyes were gone,” Wilford said.

“There were two other people trying to help. One was holding his head, and the other was rotating CPR with me.

“It was terrifying, but we did everything we could. It’s a human nature thing … is to try and preserve life.”

Wilford also restrained Bullock until police arrived.

Police and paramedics also performed CPR at the scene, with a CareFlight helicopter deployed, but the man could not be saved.

Neighbours said the couple had been arguing in the lead-up to the incident.

“There was a disturbance at the address that we have been investigating that led to him being struck by the vehicle on the street,” Detective Inspector Michael Manago said.

He confirmed the couple were known to police, who had previously attended the address over domestic and family violence-related matters.

“This is quite a traumatic incident that’s occurred in a public space … in a rural area just outside of Brisbane,” he said.

Bradly’s adult son witnessed the incident, but police confirmed no minors were present.

His daughter has since paid tribute to her father, saying: “I don’t even know how to deal with losing you. We will never be the same.”
