Police are investigating a woman’s death after a fatal collision in Victoria’s north last night.

Police were told that two people had been involved in a fight on a street in the northern Victorian town of Yarranwonga about 8.30pm.

A 46-year-old woman attempted to intervene in the incident.

A man got into a nearby car a short time later, police said.

He was taken into police custody to be interviewed by detectives.
