Ms McKenzie’s son Brad McKenzie has repeatedly called for answers and said he may never reconcile the circumstances surrounding his mother’s death.

“We hope someone has a conscience, someone feels guilt, someone knows something and speaks up,” he said.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said on Wednesday detectives had released CCTV images of four vehicles that were travelling along Creamery Rd at the time of the collision.

She said detectives were appealing for the drivers to come forward.

The first car pictured is believed to be a Holden Commodore Utility or similar, the second car is a white hatch back, the third a dark coloured SUV and the fourth a ute with fixed toolbox attached to the tray.

Anyone with dashcam footage, who witnessed the crash or with information on the couch is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
