CASEY: Teens flee crash at Endeavour Hills
A teenage boy was arrested and a further seven teens fled from a stolen car following a collision on the Monash Fwy.
The stolen white Mazda 3 was spotted by members of the public driving erratically inbound on the freeway in Berwick about 10.15am on Saturday, January 24.
The Mazda then collided into a Mercedes SUV, causing it to flip onto its roof just east of the South Gippsland Hwy about 10.25am.
Up to eight teenage boys were seen fleeing the Mazda before a member of the public caught and held down the teenage driver until police arrived. The 15-year-old boy was to be interviewed by police.
The remaining seven teens fled into nearby bushland and Air Wing were called to assist with their search.
The female driver and sole occupant of the Mercedes sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was conveyed to hospital.
The Mazda was stolen from a car park in Noble Park on December 30.
While police were responding to the Endeavour Hills incident, officers observed a Nissan Navara stationary in the emergency lane on the Monash Fwy, Hallam.
As officers attempted to intercept the Nissan, the driver and passenger fled inbound in the vehicle.
A short time later, the Nissan collided into six vehicles on the freeway at the Belgrave Hallam Rd off-ramp before the driver and his passenger fled on foot.
Police were not in pursuit of the vehicle at the time of the incident.
Officers are not aware of any injuries as a result of this incident.
No arrests have been made and police do not believe the two incidents are related.
The Nissan was stolen from a car park at the Cranbourne Railway Station on January 20.
