Video captures moment drunken Tim Smith crashes through fence

New video has captured the moment disgraced MP Tim Smith ploughed his car into another vehicle and fence while drink driving.

New dashcam footage has emerged capturing the moment disgraced Shadow Attorney-General Tim Smith ploughed his car into another vehicle and a fence while driving three times over the legal drinking limit.

The video shows a vehicle trailing behind Mr Smith’s car before he crashed into a fence on Power Street in Hawthorn, in Melbourne’s inner east, about 8.55pm on October 30.

The car’s dash camera caught the wreck out of the front window on the left hand side before the occupants doubled back to get a closer look at the crash.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman at the time said it was believed Mr Smith’s vehicle collided with another before smashing into a fence.

“He’s either drunk … probably drunk,” said one of the car’s male occupants.

“What the F---?” he said.

“He crashed into a wall,” he said.

“That’s embarrassing.”

The female occupant said: “He’s knocked the sign over too”.

The pair could be heard questioning why the former Liberal MP attempted to reverse his car away from the scene.

“The whole front of it (the car) is f------,” the female occupant said.

“F------ moron.”

The drunken smash led to Mr Smith quitting politics ahead of the 2022 election as polling conducted in Kew showed a major swing against him, with just a third of voters saying he should remain in parliament.

Mr Smith’s departure from politics followed calls from Opposition leader Matthew Guy for the former Kew MP not to contest next year’s state election.

Mr Guy said he “made it very clear to Tim that he wouldn’t find his way onto the frontbench of any parliamentary Liberal Party that I lead”.

“And I made it clear that I didn’t want him to nominate at the next election and that I didn’t believe he should nominate for the seat of Kew,” he said.

“Tim has and will reflect on my advice to him, he will then make a statement in his own time, I hope sooner rather than later.”
