It's an old story oft repeated

Man and beer fall out of ute. 

Mates stop and pick up the beer. 

Leave friend to die. 

A 31-year-old man has died at Maude, near Hay, in southwestern NSW, after he fell off the back of a ute. Police say the man was seen getting into the back section of the vehicle with several others, outside a pub at Maude, about 12.20am today.

As the ute driver tried to turn from Maude Road into Nap Nap Road, some of the passengers travelling in the rear were apparently thrown onto the roadway. The dead man, from Rochester in Victoria, struck his head on the road, suffering critical injuries.

Police say the driver of the vehicle and remaining passengers picked up cartons of alcohol which had fallen from the ute, placed them back in the rear, then drove off, leaving the injured man lying on the road.
