CCTV has captured the moment a speeding car did a 180 degree turn and ran over a tree in Melbourne’s west last night.

Tom Elliott was told the silver Holden Commodore wagon crossed Mickleham Road in Tullamarine about 8pm, almost spinning out of control and mowing down a tree before taking off.

3AW listener Jan told Tom Elliott he went to check the cameras at the back of his house after hearing a loud revving noise.

“I couldn’t believe what I was watching,” he said.

“A car, at huge speeds, enters the intersection, did a full 180 degree spin onto the median strip, facing the wrong way, it revs again and takes down a 15m tree.

“Before driving off, with smoke blazing from both tyres down to the rim.

“I couldn’t believe it was happening just outside my place.”
