MELBOURNE: ‘Hand yourself in’, say Police


Prahran Highway Patrol officers are appealing to the public to help identify a vehicle following a hit-run in Melbourne in the early hours of Satyrday morning (May 30).
A vehicle described as a white Mercedes SUV was spotted driving erratically before it crashed into several cars near the intersection of Queens Rd and Leopold St around midnight.
The series of collisions caused a power pole to come down, resulting in Queens Rd being closed for an extended period.
The SUV did not stop and took off from the scene headed towards the CBD.
No one was injured.
Police wish to speak to witnesses, anyone with dashcam of the SUV or knowledge of the vehicles number plate.

Senior Constable Daniel Geikowski said: “It is a miracle no one was hurt as a result of this hit-run collision. Looking at the damage and the aftermath, the outcome could have been far worse.
“We urge anyone with information about the vehicle to come forward.
“If you are the driver of the SUV, do the right thing and hand yourself in to a police station”.
