Greensborough Highway Patrol members are appealing for public assistance after a school crossing supervisor was struck by a vehicle while working in Epping yesterday morning.
Investigators have been told the 58-year-old South Morang man was removing flags from a Findon Road school crossing about 9am when he was struck by a silver vehicle.
