Man dies Maserati after crash impounded A 90-YEAR-old man has died in hospital after a car crash in Frankston. The car crash occurred on Beach Street at around 10.20am on 20 February. Police believe the car hit a phone box and three parked cars in a car park before stopping. Three people were taken to hospital, the driver and two passengers. One of the passengers, a 90-year-old Frankston man, died in hospital earlier this month. The other passenger was an 89-year-old Frankston woman, and the driver was a 64-year-old man from Seaford. Police are investigating what caused the fatal crash. Any witnesses can assist by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www. crimestoppersvic.com.au
A MAN was allegedly caught behind the wheel of a Maserati without a license in Frankston North earlier this month. Police pulled over a 34-year-old man in a Maserati on 10 March. They say he was driving erratically, and refused a breath test. The Maserati (pictured right), which police say belongs to the driver’s brother, was impounded for a month. The driver will be charged with unlicensed driving and refuse preliminary breath test, police say.
