Police will allege the crash was caused by a group of vigilantes in a Holden Statesman who were chasing down a stolen Hyundai sedan.
“It will be alleged that the Statesman sedan aggressively followed the stolen vehicle[then] collided with the rear of the vehicle,” Superintendent Glen Pointing said.
“The driver of the Statesman has then lost control of his vehicle,crossed the centre median strip and collided head-on with a motorcycle travelling in the opposite direction.”
The driver of the Holden Statesman,a 25-year-old Bushland Beach man,and his two passengers,a 41-year-old Kirwan man and a 22-year-old Aitkenvale woman,were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Superintendent Pointing warned people not to take matters into their own hands.
“I very strongly caution against any form of vigilante action,” he said. “Often times while people may have good intentions,it can result in unintended consequences.”
