Stolen SUV collides with three vehicles on Hindmarsh Drive

A collision involving a stolen SUV and three other vehicles has resulted in two people being transported to hospital.

A blue Skoda Kodiaq SUV with the ACT registration YNE72E was stolen from a residence in Wright in the early hours of Friday morning.

The stolen vehicle was involved in a serious collision with three other vehicles at the intersection of Hindmarsh Drive and Yamba Drive, O'Malley several hours later.

The collision resulted in one vehicle rolling onto its side and two people requiring hospitalisation. The Skoda SUV left the scene immediately after the collision.

Police later located the vehicle abandoned in Mawson and it was seized for forensic examination.

ACT Policing have alleged people in another vehicle - a large white 4WD utility - may have assisted the driver of the SUV.

Police are seeking any witnesses to the crash which occurred at about 1.30pm on Friday, as well as any dash-cam footage of the blue Skoda SUV prior to or after the collision. Information or footage relating to the white 4WD utility is also being sought by police.

ACT Policing have advised either of these vehicles could have been recorded driving erratically earlier in the day.

Anyone that has information that can assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote 6959216. Information can be provided anonymously.
