A man is fighting for his life after a person driving a sedan slammed into his van in southeast Melbourne before speeding away from the scene.
The driver of the van – a man in his 60s – was allegedly turning right onto Clairmont Ave off the South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne at about 12.45pm on Wednesday.
CCTV has captured the horrifying moment a Ford sedan smashes into the van at high speed, causing the van to roll twice.
The driver of the Ford allegedly ran from the scene and was seen getting into a dark blue sedan travelling nearby before the sedan sped off.
Police believe the blue car was driven by a woman.
The driver of the van was flown to The Alfred hospital with life-threatening upper body injuries.
Police are appealing for the two other people involved in the crash to come forward.
“It‘s a bad day out, and it is now time to make it right,” Detective Sergeant Mark Amos said.
“Come and see us. Come and talk to us. I want to hear what you have to say.”
Anyone who witnessed the collision, has dashcam footage or any information that could assist with the investigation into the crash has been urged to contact police.
