POLICE say they will not rest until they identify the driver involved in a hit-and-run incident that killed a Melbourne man.

They are searching for a light coloured four-wheel drive that has a damaged front as a result of the impact.

A 54-year-old Blackburn man died after he was struck by the car in a residential street in Melbourne's east about 10pm (AEST) on Friday night.

Detective senior sergeant Brad Mcarthur said witnesses heard a loud noise and there was no way the driver was unaware he had hit the man.

"Some of the witnesses were about 50 metres away from this crash when they heard the impact," Det Sen Sgt Mcarthur said.

"It was enough for them to turn and take notice."

They rushed to help the man but he died at the scene.

Police were able to identify the car - a light coloured Toyota Kluger - from debris found at the scene.

They are analysing CCTV footage of the incident and have urged the driver to come forward.

"We treat these matters extremely seriously," Det Sen Sgt Mcarthur said.

"We will not rest until we identify the person involved."

It is believed the victim was returning from a shopping trip when he was struck.

Police are yet to track down any relatives.

"He lived a solitary existence," Det Sen Sgt Mcarthur said.
