CCTV Released After Devon Meadows Hit-run

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 yesterday.

A cyclist was travelling north on Fisheries Road when he was struck by a grey BMW X5 SUV 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 Koo Wee Rup about 20 minutes after the collision.

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.
