Man critically injured during Melbourne car theft
A man in his 60s was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after being struck by his own car as it was being stolen in Melbourne's north-east.
A 68-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries in Melbourne's north-east when his car was struck by another vehicle during a theft attempt. No arrests have been made, and the investigation continues. Kim Tripitiris, a resident in Heidelberg West, witnessed the harrowing scene on Saturday night. She and her partner had to perform CPR on her neighbor, George, who was lying injured in his driveway for 30 minutes before police arrived.
George passed away briefly, but was revived by his partner. Neighbors described George as an important community member and a beloved car enthusiast. The offender fled the scene in the victim's car, and police are seeking information or dash-camera footage from the public.
