A father-of-three has died after he was struck by a car in an alleged hit-and-run when he and his wife became separated on a midnight walk home from a country pub.

Darrin Pierce, 44, had been walking along the Princes Highway at Berwick, an hour east of Melbourne, just after midnight on November 26 when he was hit.

Mr Pierce, a well-known local pest control operator, was found with 'life-threatening' injuries on the side of the highway by two teenage girls before he was rushed to hospital. 

He was unable to be saved.
