The Canberra TimesA MAN was on the run from police and three people were in a serious condition in hospital after a head-on collision involving a stolen car in Gungahlin yesterday.
The crash occurred about 5am, when a stolen silver BMW 3-Series sedan travelling north on Horse Park Drive collided with a southbound black Holden Viva sedan.
Firefighters were forced to cut a male suffering chest and leg injuries from the wreckage of the Holden.
Two female passengers sustained suspected abdominal injuries in the accident and were stabilised at the scene by intensive care paramedics.
All three were taken to the Canberra Hospital in a serious condition.
The driver of the BMW is believed to have fled the scene on foot before emergency services arrived.
The BMW was later reported as stolen.
Police closed the road for around five hours while the ACT Policing's Collision Investigation and Reconstruction Team investigated the incident.
Police called for witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers website on www.act.crimestoppers.com.au
