The Toyota driver, a 38-year-old Flemington man, was not injured, but both cars involved were extensively damaged.

A police spokesman said the exact circumstances of the collision were yet to be determined and the investigation was ongoing.

Alive Girl staff said CCTV footage from a nearby business showed one car allegedly speeding south on Cromwell St before being struck from the side by a car travelling west along Langridge St.
