Police have upgraded charges against a 28-year-old Narre Warren man after a fatal hit-run collision in Knoxfield last December which killed a Ferntree Gully man.
Police have charged the man with dangerous driving causing death, as well as failing to stop and render assistance and unlicensed driving.
Police have alleged a car struck a motorbike on Ferntree Gully Road at about 7.20am on 14 December 2023, with the driver of the car, a 28-year-old Narre Warren man, allegedly fleeing the scene.
The motorbike rider, a 65-year-old Ferntree Gully man, was taken to hospital where he later died.

The Narre Warren man will next appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday 22 April.
