A teenager has been charged after he allegedly stole a car before it crashed into another car and he fled the scene.

The 16-year-old Mildura boy was charged with 22 offences by Mildura Divisional Tasking Unit officers after the December 14 incident.

Police will allege an MG was travelling on Eleventh St about 8.20pm when it was hit by a stolen silver sedan, causing the MG to be pushed onto the other side of the road.

The silver sedan then hit a power pole before three men allegedly ran from the scene.

The driver of the MG, a 22-year-old Mildura woman, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

A 39-year-old Mildura man was arrested and released pending further inquiries.

Police are still searching for the third occupant and the investigation remains ongoing.

Investigators believe the silver sedan was allegedly stolen from Swan Place, Mildura on December 13.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, has CCTV or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online.
