About 1am on Monday, a driver was killed after crashing into a parked truck near Ballarat.

Police believe the car was travelling the wrong way down a service lane in Delacombe.

The dead driver's gender has not been determined.

A cyclist and an elderly pedestrian both died in Melbourne hospitals on Monday following road accidents last week.

The cyclist, a 69-year-old Sorrento man, suffered severe head injuries after he and a cycling mate collided at nearby Portsea on Tuesday.

The other man, 67, had minor injuries.
