POLICE are searching for a Toyota Camry which may have a damaged bonnet after a fatal hit-and-run near Maitland on Wednesday night.

Emergency services were called to reports of a crash on the New England Highway at Harpers Hill, one kilometre east of Greta, at about 9.30pm on October 30.

Police rushed to the scene and sadly discovered a pedestrian had been struck by a car which had failed to stop.

The 37-year-old man was treated by ambulance paramedics but died at the scene.
