A SEMI-TRAILER has been seized by police investigating the hit and run death of cyclist Dr Martin Pearson.

Detectives and scenes of crime officers yesterday pored over the truck and trailers in a Newtown holding yard.

The vehicle was seized from the Oakey area on Thursday afternoon.

Dr Pearson, 61, was riding alone while competing in the Audax Queensland GT series cycling race when he was struck by a vehicle on the Inglewood Millmerran Rd near Inglewood.

Police believe the collision occurred some time between 2.30pm and 3.25pm on April 25.

His wife Sandy Vigar was following in a support car on the day and described the section of road here the collision occurred as flat and wide.

Dr Pearson lived in Lowood and was an associate professor of veterinary anaesthesia at the University of Queensland Gatton Campus.

Police yesterday refused to comment on the seizure, saying there was a lot of work to be done on the case.
