A motorist is dead after a car which was believed to be drag racing crashed into him.
Police said that just before the crash on the Princes Highway at Dandenong on Tuesday night, two cars were seen travelling at high speed.
As the hoon cars raced towards the intersection of Henty Street, one car collided with a vehicle that was attempting to turn right.
The impact sent both vehicles careering out of control and they hit two light poles on the side of the road just before 8pm (AEDT).
The 31-year-old driver of the car turning right, died at the scene, while the other driver, 27, was taken to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition.
Intensive care paramedic Greg Nicholls said the crash scene was chaotic.
"Paramedics quickly removed the driver of one car. The passenger side of his vehicle was pushed in about a metre by the force of the impact... unfortunately he died at the scene," he said.
He said the driver of the other car had a fractured arm and dislocated shoulder.
"He couldn't get out of the car due to the pain he was in so we gave him a pain relief inhaler, then some morphine through a drip to help make him more comfortable," Mr Nicholls said.
"It's frustrating to be going to collisions like this which have such devastating consequences, knowing that the crash could have been prevented."
Police are looking for the other car in the race, a late 1990s red Ford sedan with tinted windows.
