Investigation continues after motorcyclist left with serious injuries in Noble Park

Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol officers continue to investigate and are appealing for public assistance following an alleged hit-run collision in Noble Park that left a motorcyclist in hospital earlier this year.

Police will allege a grey Ford hatchback, and a grey Volkswagen Golf were seen racing each other on the Princes Highway on Thursday 22 May just before 2.30pm.

Both vehicles allegedly ran a red light, before the Ford struck a motorcycle.

The male rider, a 61-year-old Vermont South man, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

He sustained several upper and lower body injuries requiring multiple surgeries which remain ongoing.

The two male occupants of the Ford got out of the vehicle and allegedly fled the scene.

The first male is described as Caucasian with a slim build, approximately 30-years-old and wearing a black hoodie, black shorts, and white runners.

The second male is described as having an olive complexion, solid build, approximately 45-55-years-old and wearing a black short sleeve puffer jacket, dark t-shirt, blue jeans and had some sort of bag, possibly a dark coloured backpack with white writing over his shoulder.

Police located the Volkswagen allegedly bearing false registration plates shortly after and arrested a 22-year-old Melton woman and 27-year-old Beaconsfield man.

They were charged with multiple offences including dangerous driving causing serious injury, recklessly cause serious injury and recklessly cause injury, and have since faced court.

Police have released CCTV footage of two men they believe can assist with their enquiries.

Investigators are urging anyone who recognises the male occupants of the Ford Focus or has information in relation to the incident to come forward.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
