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.

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

According to police, there have been no reports of injuries and the exact circumstances of the incident are still being investigated.
