‘It is shocking. The family had a function at the house and were on their way home,’ one neighbour named Angela told the Herald Sun.
A family with three children live at the home where the gathering had been held.
Another neighbour said the street was ‘always full of cars because it is very narrow’.
‘It is very annoying because you walk outside and there are always random cars parked on your nature strip.’
‘Cars fly around corners here and because it is usually very quiet, they don’t tend to look.’
Victoria Police are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
‘Emergency services were quickly on the scene but the pedestrian, a young child, could not be revived,’ they said in a statement.
‘The driver of the car stopped at the scene.’
Anyone who witnessed the collision or has information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
