Victoria Police have released an image of a silver car believed to be involved in the latest hit and run on a cyclist.

A 36-year-old Alfredton man was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries after the smash in Lake Wendouree, on Wendouree Parade near Morrison Street, about 6.20am on Good Friday. The man remained in a critical condition on Friday night.

Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives said the wanted car, a four door Mitsubishi Lancer sedan with a body kit, veered onto the wrong side of the road and struck the cyclist head-on before fleeing the scene.



They have released an image of the wanted car, captured about two hours later, from a garbage truck cabin video in Greenhalghs Road in Delacombe.



It is believed the windscreen is smashed and part of the body kit at the back is dangling onto the road by an electrical lead.

The latest hit and run follows a smash on Wednesday that left two cyclists seriously injured in Gippsland.
