Police have charged a 27-year-old man over a suspected hit and run after a man in his 20s was allegedly left for dead on the site of a remote road in rural Far North Queensland.

The deceased man was found on Martyville Road near Innisfail south of Cairns at 5.20am on Christmas morning.

The accused has been charged with drive without due care causing death, and failing to remain at incident and render assistance.

He is due before Cairns Magistrates court tomorrow.

Queensland police are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage or who may have seen anything to get in touch.
