Neighbours raced to rescue two men who were inside the vehicle before they found a cache of weapons and drugs on the back seat.
"The driver was trapped and twisted beneath the steering wheel and I just held his hand until the ambulance came," one resident said.
Both men were taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital with the driver fighting for his life in critical condition.
Police seized a gel blaster, knife and nitrous oxide canisters from the vehicle, alongside bags and multiple mobile phones.
