Car collides, flips
A red car speeding along Caroline Springs Boulevard clipped another vehicle and flipped on its roof on January 18. Police believe the vehicle was travelling well above the 60km/h speed limit when it hit the rear of a stationary and vacant car. The red car mounted The Groves intersection roundabout before hitting a sign and then rolling. Its 32-year-old driver received non-life threatening injuries and was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Melton police will investigate the collision and may possibly lay charges.
