A man has been charged with murder after a fatal hit-and-run in Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula.
Police said a 23-year-old male pedestrian was hit by a white car at the intersection of McCallum Street and Cool Store Road in Hastings at about 11pm yesterday.
"The male pedestrian died at the scene," a Victoria Police spokesperson said.
"The driver of the vehicle did not stop at the scene."
Police later arrested a 34-year-old man from Hastings who they allege had been driving the car.
The man will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court later this evening.
A crime scene was set up on the suburban street, where investigators remained into the morning.

Police are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers.
