A family of an elderly man is devastated after he and his dog were killed after being hit by a car in Melbourne's south-east.

Toni Jensen, 87, and his dog Rusty were just metres from their home when they were struck by a Toyota Crusier at the intersection of Heatherton and Power roads in Endeavour Hills just after 7.30pm yesterday.

The driver immediately stopped to help the 87-year-old, but he and his dog sadly died at the scene.

Neighbours have told 9News the great-grandfather would walk that same route every morning and night.

He was just a few metres away from a pedestrian crossing when he was killed.

"I turned around and I saw the man on the road. There were a few people taking care of him, checking on him," nearby resident Harpretgill said.

Detective Sergeant Peter Romanis said the driver, a 37-year-old man from Endeavour Hills, is cooperating with police.

"The Major Crash Investigation Unit is looking at all avenues of enquiries and are working to piece together what has gone on here," he said.

"The driver is assisting police and we are hoping to understand how this tragedy unfolded."

Romanis said safety on Victorian roads was everyone's responsibility.

"This is a tragic reminder for all users to drive to the conditions, be aware of your surroundings and be aware of vulnerable road users," he said.

"We want to avoid circumstances like this wherever possible."

The driver has been released pending further inquiries.

Police are calling on anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who may have dashcam footage to come forward.

The family of a grandmother who died after being Tasered at an aged care home in regional NSW have read "shocking" details of the incident in a briefing of the facts against a police officer facing court.

Senior Constable Kristian White was charged over the Tasering of Clare Nowland at Yallambee Lodge aged care home in Cooma in May.

He was suspended from the NSW Police Force after 12 years following the incident, when he was charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault.

Nowland, who was diagnosed with dementia, later died from injuries sustained in the incident.

"See you are going to get Tasered," White allegedly said to Nowland after a warning arc, showing the electrical arc of the device.

"Clare stop," he allegedly said.

Nowland was holding a knife pointed at another officer, who was standing about two metres away.

"Stop just … na bugger it," White then said before deploying the Taser, according to the police statement of facts.

Still holding her walking frame, Nowland fell backwards, hitting her head heavily on the wooden floor.

She was found to have an inoperable bleed on the brain when taken to Cooma Hospital, where she later died.

NSW Police standard operating procedures for the device indicate it is not to be used against elderly or disabled people unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Nowland's family was provided a copy of the police facts sheet following a bail hearing in the Supreme Court on Tuesday, before it was released on Wednesday afternoon.

Through lawyers, the family asked for privacy and space as they consider the information.

"The facts alleged against White are extremely confronting and shocking," solicitor Sam Tierney said.

Following Tuesday's bail hearing, White is required to be of good behaviour, attend court as ordered, and not contact Nowland's family or prosecution witnesses except through a lawyer.

The conditions requested by the Crown were not opposed by White or his legal team.

A plea has not been entered on any of the charges and the matter will return to Cooma Local Court on September 6.
