A possibly injured driver has left another motorist with leg injuries after fleeing a two-car crash at Grovedale, according to social media accounts.
Hayley Jane chased the man, who “would have to have injuries” from the Barwarre Rd hit-run on Sunday morning, she posted on a police Facebook page.
Geelong police said the man was last seen running east toward railroad tracks.
“I gave chase but by the time I got through the paddocks to the tracks he was nowhere to be seen,” Hayley Jane posted.
Benjamin James Calnin identified himself as the victim with the leg injuries.
“Thanks to the ambulance and the witnesses that were extremely helpful and kept me safe this morning,” he posted.
“No major injuries. Just the owner of a now very beaten up Nissan X-Trail.
“If anyone has any information on the guy that hit me that would be great if you helped out.”
Images from the crash scene identified the other vehicle as a dark-coloured Holden Calais, possibly about 10 years old.
Both vehicles were write-offs after the smash, police said.
The cars collided around 6.55am at the intersection of Smith St.
Police described the man who fled as Caucasian, wearing a red T-shirt and a black cap.
Anyone with any information should phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, police said.
They also confirmed the wanted man was not the same person found unconscious on a Grovedale corner two hours after the crash.
Police appealed for information to identify the man in his 50s but later confirmed he was a jogger and uninvolved in the hit-run.
