Man driving stolen vehicle killed in head-on crash

A 46-year-old man from Melton was killed in a series of collisions involving stolen vehicles in Melbourne. He was driving a stolen white Subaru on the wrong side of the road when he crashed into two other cars near Punt Road and Boulton Parade around 9pm. After exiting the Subaru, he entered a Mustang that had been involved in the initial collision, though its driver was not present at the time. The man then drove the Mustang erratically before crashing head-on into a Range Rover and a Toyota Camry on Barassi Way, resulting in his ejection and death at the scene. The woman driving the Range Rover suffered an arm injury and was hospitalized, while the other motorist remained unharmed. The Subaru was reported stolen from Glen Iris on August 20 and had false license plates.
