Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have interviewed a man following a death in Kiata earlier this month.

Detectives believe a Wimmera woman died after being hit by a truck on the Western Highway, in Kiata.

A passerby located human remains on the Western Highway just after 8am on April 4, but police believe the woman was hit sometime between 9pm on April 3 and 2am on April 4.

Detective Inspector Craig McEvoy, of Major Collision Investigation Unit, said the woman had not been formally identified yet as police await confirmation from the coroner.

“The cause of death is also yet to be determined, but is being treated as a possible hit-run at this stage,” he said.

Det Insp McEvoy said detectives had located a truck in Tullamarine on Thursday, and it was seized for forensic testing.

A South Australian man, 33, believed to be the driver, was arrested and interviewed but released pending further enquiries.

Investigators are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
