A 63-year-old ‘good Samaritan’ has been killed after being struck by a vehicle on Monash Freeway in Endeavour Hills.
Police believe the Langwarrin woman stopped in the left city bound lane to help a driver of a Suzuki who crashed into a median concrete barrier under the Heatherton Road overpass about 3.15am on Monday 18 July.
She was then struck by a vehicle driven by a 28-year-old Traralgon man and died at the scene.
The Suzuki driver – a 35-year-old Noble Park man – was seriously injured and taken to The Alfred hospital.
Police say the Suzuki was travelling east on Heatherton Road before veering left through a pedestrian barrier, a traffic light and an armoured steel guard rail.
