A man has died in a police pursuit northwest of Melbourne.
He's the fourth person to die on Victorian roads in just eight hours.
Police were called to an alleged attempted theft at the Macedon railway station, about 70 kilometres out of Melbourne, just before 5am (AEST) on Saturday, a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.
After they arrived they began chasing four people who took off in a car from nearby Gisborne.
A short time later, police found the car had rolled on a bend at an intersection.
Two men ran from the scene but a third man was dead. A woman was arrested at the scene.
She is under police guard at Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Professional standards Command police are overseeing the investigation.
About 9pm on Friday, three people killed during an attempt to clear a tree that had been brought down on the road by high winds.
Police say three men were trying to clear the tree from the road at Broadwater, near Port Fairy, when a car struck them.
The two men and a man in the car's front passenger seat died at the scene.
The third man on the road and four children in the back seat of the car escaped injury.
The driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The deaths take Victoria's road toll to 124, 11 more than at the same time in 2013.
