Townsville’s spate of people fleeing the scenes of crashes has continued, with two more incidents taking place around the city on Thursday night.

Police are investigating after a two vehicle crash was reported at the intersection of Bowen Rd and Cross St, Mundingburra at 10.35pm.

A Queensland Police spokesman said a white Holden Astra was allegedly speeding and ran a red light before colliding with another vehicle.

The Astra’s driver and passenger fled on foot.

Passengers in the other vehicle received minor injuries and didn’t require further treatment.
