A 16-year-old is facing multiple charges after allegedly driving a stolen car erratically through Melbourne’s CBD and hitting a woman near the Flinders Street area. Multiple outlets report the incident resulted in injuries to the woman and led to immediate police involvement.
Several reports link the crash to the Melbourne Marathon, with some describing disruptions around the marathon route and the scene near Flinders Street. Accounts also describe the teen allegedly fleeing the scene before the car later collided with other parked vehicles. Outlets vary mainly in emphasis and wording—some describe the incident as a hit-and-run, while others focus on the stolen-car element and the chaos around the marathon—but the central allegations remain consistent across sources.
