Kyneton police are still seeking witnesses after a man was found seriously injured in the town following a hit-and-run over the Easter long weekend.
According to police, a man was discovered on Sturt Street shortly after 2am on Saturday, April 16, after witnesses heard two loud thuds and called emergency services.
The 33-year-old Kyneton man was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries and continues to recover in hospital, police said.
“Investigators believe the man was hit by a vehicle, which failed to stop at the scene,” police said.
“Police would like to speak to anyone who drove through the area around that time and may have seen a pedestrian or anything suspicious.
“Due to the long weekend and increased visitors in the area, police are investigating if the driver was possibly from another area of Victoria,” they said.
Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
