A child has died after being hit by a car in a church carpark.
Police were called to Blackburn North in Melbourne about 6.45pm on Saturday to reports the child had been struck.
Paramedics attempted to revive the child but they were pronounced dead at the scene.
A statement from Victoria Police said the driver of the vehicle stopped to assist and is speaking with police.
The circumstances surrounding the collision are yet to be determined, and the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Hours later, a man died in a single-car crash at Cowes.

A 19-year-old man, who was a passenger in the car, died at the scene.
The driver and three other passengers were taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries.
Anyone who witnessed either incident or has relevant CCTV or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online.
