Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have charged a woman following a fatal collision in Whittlesea on Sunday.
It is alleged two vehicles collided while travelling along Grants Road shortly before 5pm.
The male driver of one vehicle, an 84-year-old Whittlesea man, was declared deceased at the scene.
The female driver of the second vehicle allegedly left the scene after getting picked up in another vehicle.
She was arrested a short time later nearby and was taken to hospital to be treated for injuries sustained during the collision under police guard.
The 31-year-old Wallan woman has since been charged with dangerous driving causing death, fail to stop and fail to render assistance.
She will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today.
