A ute driver overtaking wildly on Belair Rd has been reported for drink driving after allegedly causing a five-car crash.

Five-car smash at Lower Mitcham

Dashcam footage has captured the moment an alleged drunk driver caused a five-car crash on Belair Road on Monday afternoon.

The 35-year-old Aberfoyle Park man was driving his Ford Ranger toward the intersection of Belair Road and Wattlebury Drive when he lost control and collided with the rear of a BMW.

The force of the rear-end crash pushed the BMW into a Mitsubishi Outlander, which hit an Volkswagen Amarok.

A Holden Cruze travelling south in the left lane was also hit by the Ford.

The driver of the BMW, a 64-year-old Bellevue Heights woman, was taken to the RAH with minor injuries.

After speaking to the Ford driver, police issued a breath test where he allegedly returned a positive reading of 0.125.

He was reported for drink driving and driving without due care, immediately losing his licence on the spot.

He will face court at a later date.
