Somerville Highway Patrol are appealing for witnesses following a near-miss at a pedestrian crossing in Mornington earlier this month.
It is understood a red Mazda 121 was speeding southbound on the Nepean Highway and failed to stop at a red light at the intersection of Main Street about 10.30pm on Friday, 3 October.
Five pedestrians were walking across the road at time and were almost struck by the car.
They narrowly escaped any physical injuries.
Police believe some of the pedestrians filmed the offending vehicle as it continued driving, just after the red light camera flashed.
Investigators would like to speak to the pedestrians involved, or anyone who may have been in the area at the time, as they work to establish the circumstances of the incident and who was driving.
The Mazda, with the registration 1WG6OE, was detected travelling at 93km/h in a 70km/h zone on the Nepean Highway.
Following the near-miss, it continued driving towards Dromana.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
