All seven people involved in the accident were taken to hospital, however, the 44-year-old driver of the other vehicle was the most seriously injured.

Mark Ryan, a father and keen sportsman nicknamed Dutch, is at hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Police have alleged Mr Yual tried to give a false name to officers at the scene and that some of his passengers, all of African descent and between the ages of 16 and 21, were not wearing seatbelts.

The January 14 crash occurred at the corner of Springvale Road and Princes Highway in Springvale, Melbourne, at 4.50am on Monday.

The impact of the collision was so forceful that the front of one of the vehicles was completely smashed in, while the other car was sent flying and ended up more than 20m away.

Debris was strewn across the busy intersection, causing disruptions to peak-hour traffic.
