Warrnambool police want dash camera footage of a collision involving a 64-year-old male pedestrian and a vehicle near the Raglan Parade/Caramut Road intersection on Saturday night.
A Warrnambool police highway patrol unit spokesman said investigations into the cause of the collision about 9pm Saturday night were ongoing.
"We have a few statements from witnesses and dash camera footage of the aftermath of the collision, but we don't have anything of the actual collision at this stage," he said.
"We believe the pedestrian was heading south from the north side of the highway.
"It appears he was not at the traffic lights, but crossing the highway across the lanes from more towards Dennington.
"We have dash camera footage which shows that the traffic lights were green at the time of the collision."
The pedestrian suffered lower body injuries and was transported to the Warrnambool Base Hospital for assessment and treatment.
"It was traumatic for everyone involved and witnesses," the spokesman said.
"It is not a well lit intersection and we don't know why the pedestrian was not using the pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights.That's what it's there for."
The driver of the car, a 25-year-old Warrnambool man, stopped at the accident scene and has been helping police with their enquiries.
Anyone with dash camera footage of the collision is requested to contact the Warrnambool police highway patrol unit or Crime Stoppers on 12800 333 000.
