The owner of a ute sought in a hit-and-run incident has come forward after seeing a picture of their vehicle being circulated by police.

"The owner of the vehicle, described as a blue Ford Ranger, has come forward to police of their own accord and we are confident that this vehicle was not involved in the incident," a police statement said.

"We would however like to hear from anyone who saw a vehicle described as being a metallic blue double cab, possibly a Toyota Hilux."

The vehicle is thought to have alloy bull bars on the front and black aftermarket wheels. It is believed the vehicle also had some sort of radio antenna or stick on the back of the deck.

If you have information that could lead to the location of the vehicle, please phone 105 and quote the case number 220123/5266.

Information can also be provided to Crime Stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Police continue to make enquiries into the hit-and-run in Cromwell on the morning of Sunday January 23.
