A deadly stretch of highway in Berwick has again been the site of a collision, after a car struck a pedestrian in the early hours of the morning.
It is understood the collision occurred on Princes Highway, near Coniston Avenue, about 5am on Friday 10 March.
A male pedestrian, believed to be in his 30s, was taken to The Alfred in a critical condition, suffering head injuries.
The male driver of the car stopped at the scene.
Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives are working to establish the exact circumstances of the collision.
It is understood this morning’s collision occurred at the same intersection that claimed the life of former Casey mayor Mick Morland in 2017.
Mr Morland was crossing the highway, near Wilson Botanic Park, on his nightly walk when he was struck by a passing car and killed.
His death sparked conversation within the community about the safety of the highway, which is frequented by locals to gain access to Wilson Botanic Park.
In the lead up to the State election last year, Berwick MP Brad Battin committed to establishing a set of traffic lights at the site, had the Liberals formed government.
Anyone who witnessed the collision, has CCTV/dashcam footage or information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
