A 20-year-old Kambah man has been charged with multiple offences following a two-car collision on Boddington Crescent yesterday, Sunday 30 January.  

About 5.40pm yesterday, police were called to a collision at the intersection of Boddington Crescent and Crozier Circuit in Kambah.  

Witnesses advised the driver of Toyota Corolla allegedly failed to give way and collided with a Subaru Forrester.  

The driver of the Corolla then attempted to leave the scene by attempting to drive his damaged vehicle and then later trying to run away. He was detained by witnesses until police arrived.
