Police reveal moment speeding driver narrowly misses pedestrians

Victoria Police have released video of a shocking near miss where a speeding car narrowly avoided hitting five pedestrians.

The incident occurred earlier this month on the Nepean Highway at Mornington, when a red Mazda 121 was caught speeding and failing to stop at a red light by a red light speed camera.

The car was clocked going at 93km/h in a 70km/h zone.

At the same time the Mazda was speeding through the red light, five pedestrians were shown crossing the road.

Footage shows the Mazda only narrowly avoiding hitting some of the pedestrians.

There were no injuries to the pedestrians, some of whom subsequently filmed the car on their phones as it sped off into the night.

Police still have not located the driver of the vehicle, and have released the footage in the hope the pedestrians or any other witnesses to the incident will come forward.

The Mazda had a registration of 1WG60E, and after the incident it continued driving in a southbound direction towards Dromana.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
