A man has been charged after dramatic videos showed a ute flying down inner-city Melbourne streets on three wheels, crashing into multiple cars.Police allege the Ford Ranger drove on the wrong side of the road and hit roughly 10 cars about 7pm yesterday before the man was arrested in Richmond and drugs were seized from the vehicle.

One video shows the ute screaming down the tram tracks on Church Street near Coles, steeply angled towards the front right, apparently with the front right wheel stuck at almost 90 degrees to the rest of the car, and sending up bright sparks from its rims.

Another shows the aftermath of the final crash on nearby York Street, where police said the driver hit four cars. A black car that apparently had been parked on the side of the road was forced up onto the car behind it after the ute crashed into it on the wrong side of the road.

Police allegedly saw the ute overtake them on Highett Street in Richmond about 6.50pm, giving chase in a “short pursuit” before the crash on York Street.

“The vehicle is alleged to have been travelling on three wheels into oncoming traffic, forcing motorists to take evasive action,” police said.

The driver allegedly fled but was arrested a short time later.

Police alleged he crashed into about six other cars in the Collingwood and Fitzroy areas during the incident.

A 57-year-old female pedestrian was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after she fell fleeing the scene.

He allegedly returned a positive oral fluid test and “a quantity of drugs” was found in the vehicle.

He was remanded in custody to face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today.

Police called for anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward.
