Altercation on Monash Freeway prompts police investigation

Victoria Police is investigating a collision that occurred on 3 January on the Monash Freeway between Hallam and Narre Warren.

He later assisted police with their enquiries upon his return to the scene.

The male occupants of the Camry fled the scene and remain unidentified.
