POLICE struck a crushing blow to hoon drivers yesterday, flattening an impounded car and warning that more than 40 others are earmarked for the same fate.

A Holden Commodore belonging to a serial hoon was squashed beyond use at a Dandenong wrecker's yard.

The crushing may make a lead-footed Porsche driver, who opened up his sports car on the West Gate Freeway to 215km/h in a 100km/h zone, somewhat nervous.

The 39-year-old St Kilda man had his car impounded for 48 hours after the early morning burst on June 25. He will be charged on summons.
