A driver has deliberately rammed a mobile speed camera, forcing the vehicle along the side of the road before slamming it into a tree, injuring the technician inside.
The mobile road safety camera vehicle was parked on the side of Parwan-Exford Road in Parwan when a vehicle approached it from behind about 7.45pm on Sunday.
Dash-cam footage from the mobile speed camera vehicle shows a 4WD with a large bulbar intentionally slamming into the back of the vehicle pushing it about 30 metres forward into a tree, causing significant damage.

The victim, a 37-year-old Plumpton man, was in the passenger seat at the time and sustained non-life threatening neck and knee injuries.
He did not require hospitalisation.
The offending vehicle then reversed, pulled a U-turn and fled north-west along Parwan-Exford Road towards Bacchus Marsh, according to Melton Crime Investigation Unit detectives.
Police have released dash-cam footage depicting the moment the car was rammed in the hope someone may recall the incident and be able to provide information.
