Shepparton police responded to reports of a Holden Commodore without registration plates being driven erratically at around 1.15pm on Friday, July 31.

The vehicle allegedly crossed to the wrong side of Verney Rd, without police intervention, before colliding with a traffic light post at the intersection of Pine Rd.

Police said the vehicle narrowly missed hitting other cars.

A 20-year-old Shepparton man was arrested at the scene.

He has been charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury, along with 11 further driving offences.

He has been released pending summons.

Police located an 18-year-old male passenger soon after the incident at Goulburn Valley Health, who was released without charge.

A 16-year-old passenger was also arrested a short time later in relation to outstanding warrants.

He has been bailed to appear in court at a later date.
