Police seek hit-and-runvehicle

POLICE are calling for witnesses after a tow truck driver suffered serious leg injuries in a hit-and-run incident in Cranbourne on the weekend.
The man, 25, was attending to a broken down vehicle on Thompsons Rd on Sunday at 9.30pm, about 200 metres north of Breens Rd, when he was struck by a vehicle, yet to be identified.

“The vehicle would have sustained damage to the front left panel and bumper area as a result of the impact,” he said.
