Car involved in hit and run spotted in Kooweerup

Casey Highway Patrol officers have released CCTV of a vehicle they are seeking to locate in the wake of a serious hit-run collision in Devon Meadows on Monday 28 April.

A cyclist was travelling north on Fisheries Road when he was struck by a grey BMW X5 SUV at about 2.15pm.

The cyclist was thrown several metres from his bicycle as a result of the collision.

Witnesses stopped to assist the 79-year-old Cranbourne South man, who was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the BMW, which had no number plates affixed, failed to stop at the scene.

Police received reports of a vehicle, matching the description of the BMW, being driven erratically in Kooweerup about 20 minutes after the collision.

Investigators have released CCTV footage showing the vehicle on Denhams Road in Kooweerup in the hope someone may be able to provide information as to its whereabouts.

As a result of the collision the BMW will be missing a side mirror which was located at the Devon Meadows scene.

Investigations into the incident remain ongoing and police are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage or CCTV from around the area around the time of the collision to come forward.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
