A reckless driver has been captured on CCTV fleeing from the scene of a horrific crash in which he ploughed into a parked car.
Footage shows a dark Peugeot 207 crashing into the back of a Volkswagen Up supermini with such ferocity that the VW was catapulted forward into two other parked motors. As smoke pours from beneath the bonnet of the Peugeot the driver, believed to be a male in his 20s, climbs out.
He then flees to the left of the frame as the alarm on a silver Mitsubishi hatchback is set off. The crash happened on Moorview, Camperdown, north of Newcastle, at around 12.15am on Sunday May 28, writing off the Volkswagen.
