Man charged over multi-vehicle crash in Gladesville

A man will appear in court today after he was charged in relation to a multi-vehicle crash at Gladesville over the weekend, NSW Police say.

About 7.30pm on Sunday 4 November 2018, police and emergency services were called to Victoria Road, near Westminster Road, after four vehicles were involved in a crash.

It is believed that a BMW M4 was travelling west on Victoria Road while three other vehicles, a Ford Focus, Volkswagen Polo and Toyota Corolla were travelling eastbound.

The BMW appears to have failed to negotiate the sweeping left hand bend near the intersection with Westminster Road and collided with the three eastbound vehicles.

As a result of the collision five people were conveyed to a number of hospitals with a variety of injuries.

Officers from the Crash Investigation Unit attended and commenced their inquiries.

Yesterday the 26-year-old man who was driving the BMW was released from RPA Hospital and was arrested by police.

The man was conveyed to Newtown Police Station where he was later charged with dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm (x 2), furious driving occasioning injury through misconduct and negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm.

The man was refused bail to appear at Newtown Local Court today (Wednesday 7 November 2018).

Police are urging anyone with information in relation to the crash to contact police via Crime Stoppers.
