A four-year-old boy has died after being struck by a four-wheel drive in Berwick.
Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives are investigating the incident, which occurred just before noon on Friday 21 April.
They believe a light green 100 series Toyota LandCruiser was travelling on Kangan Drive, drove through a car park and struck the boy and two other pedestrians.
The two adults, who were not connected to the boy, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the car stopped at the scene. Police are speaking to him.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au with any information about the collision.
