Police seek witnesses to Reedy Lake fatal hit-run

Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have taken over the investigation into the death of a man at Reedy Lake and are treating the incident as a hit-run.

The body of a man, who is yet to be formally identified, was discovered when he was struck by a car on the Murray Valley Highway at 2.18am on Friday, 19 August.

The driver, a 59-year-old Nyah West woman, stopped at the scene and notified authorities.
