Wild moment man jumps out of a moving van seconds before he is mowed down by cops after seven-hour car chase
A wild seven-hour police chase across Melbourne in broad daylight came to a dramatic ending when a man jumped from a speeding van straight into the path of an oncoming unmarked cop car. It's understood the Toyota HiAce allegedly collided with cars in the Domain Tunnel before the driver took police on a pursuit through the city's south-east on Friday. The Toyota HiAce van was allegedly stolen from St Kilda earlier that morning just before 6am. 'The vehicle was then spotted in Footscray and followed by the Air Wing and police on the ground as it drove, at times erratically, through several suburbs,' a police statement read. Footage obtained by news helicopters captured the heavily damaged vehicle weaving in and out of busy traffic on the West Gate and Princes freeways, causing more carnage along the way. The van clipped multiple cars and had near-misses with dozens of others during the chase. It also hit several street signs when it mounted the curb to avoid a parked vehicle. The pursuit finally ended on Dunnings Rd in Point Cook shortly before 1pm, where a man jumped from the driver's seat window of the moving van into oncoming traffic. The driver of his van led police on a high speed chase across Melbourne on Friday The man's attempts to evade police finally ended when he was struck by an unmarked cop car But as he made a run for it, his attempts to evade police ended in disaster seconds later when he was struck by an unmarked cop car. The impact resulted in the man being thrown across the bonnet, losing one of his shoes in the process. Plain-clothed officers jumped out and quickly swarmed the man lying on the median strip. The moving van knocked down another road sign before it finally came to a rolling stop. It's not known whether anyone else was in the van at the time. The Point Cook man, 36, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to hospital under police guard. Photos showed the bloodied man lying on a stretcher using an inhaler, known as the green whistle, for pain relief. He is yet to be interviewed by police. No other motorists were seriously injured during the pursuit, police said.

‘Watch him like a hawk': Repeat drunk driver charged in Brampton crash that critically injured 21-year-old
A five-time repeat offender with three lifetime driving bans is facing impaired driving charges after a Brampton crash left one in critical condition. A five-time convicted impaired driver is once again facing charges after a violent four-vehicle crash in Brampton left a 21-year-old man in critical condition with life-altering injuries. Peel police say the suspect was driving a white commercial vehicle when it collided with several others at Highway 50 and Coleraine Drive on July 5. Prior to the crash, police say that multiple drivers called 911 to report the vehicle swerving erratically. The suspect, who has three lifetime driving bans, was allegedly behind the wheel again despite past convictions and prohibitions stretching back nearly three decades when he was first charged in 1996, officials told CP24 Thursday afternoon. 'It begs the question that I'm sure we're all asking,' said Const. Tyler Bell-Morena. 'Is it going to take someone being killed before this man is put away? And I can't fault anyone for asking that question.' What happened on July 5? Three people were taken to hospital following the afternoon collision. One of them, a 21-year-old man, remains in unstable critical condition and is expected to suffer 'long-term, life-altering injuries,' according to police. In a news release, police announced that a suspect, identified as 58-year-old Koushal Kasiram, of Mississauga, has been charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm, driving with excess blood alcohol, and three counts of driving while prohibited.

None of the charges have been tested in court but he was held for a bail hearing and subsequently released on a recognizance, with conditions not to drive a motor-vehicle, police said. 'This man was released again on conditions not to drive, and maybe he'll meet it this time,' Bell-Morena said. 'It's a little bit concerning.' Kasiram's most recent driving conviction was in 2015, Bell-Morena added. 'Watch him like a hawk,' police warn public Police are asking anyone with information about the collision, or those with dash camera footage, to contact the Major Collision Bureau at (905) 453–2121, ext. 3710. 'Our thoughts are with the family of those injured in this horrific crash. We are committed to holding dangerous drivers, such as Mr. Kasiram, accountable for their actions,' Deputy Chief Marc Andrews said in a written statement. Meanwhile, Bell-Morena urged the public to keep their eyes peeled. 'If you know who this individual is,' he said, 'watch him like a hawk and pick up the phone and call us if you see him behind the wheel again.'
