Police Charge Man After CBD Collision

A man has been charged following a collision in Melbourne's CBD yesterday.

The 27-year-old man has been charged with multiple offences including reckless conduct endangering life, reckless conduct endangering serious injury, theft of motor vehicle and disqualified driving.

The charges follow an incident at the intersection of Flinders and Williams streets yesterday where an allegedly stolen black wagon was seen driving erratically before it collided with another vehicle about 4.10pm.

The wagon then crashed into a traffic light on the opposite side of the road, narrowly missing pedestrians.

In an attempt to get away the driver allegedly jumped from the moving vehicle before it crashed into a tram stop.

Police arrested the Ardeer man after he unsuccessfully allegedly tried to steal another vehicle parked on the street nearby.

He has been remanded in custody to appear before Melbourne Magistrates' Court today, Tuesday 3 March.
