Just before 10am, authorities were called to Tiller Drive and Commercial Road in Seaford after reports there had been a number of road incidents.
Witnesses were there to help as the driver allegedly continued his rampage on the busy road.
“I didn’t know what to do, where to go,” Chloe told 9News.
“He came up next to me, asked me to wind down the window and said ‘I’m going to hit you’, ‘you’re dead.'”
Fearing for her safety, Chloe phoned her father, Gary.
“I could hear it in her voice she was getting more and more frightened,” he told 9News.
“So, I jumped into my car and then I heard her say ‘he’s going to hit me’, ‘he’s just hit me’ and then I thought that was it and then I heard her screaming ‘he’s coming at me again.'”
Chloe says she was left bracing in the front seat of her car as the drunk driver lined her up, before ramming her car head-on.
“He reversed into me, drove through the red light, U-turned and then rammed me head-on at full pelt,” she said.
The force of the impact pushed her SUV into the car behind her.
She suffered burns from the airbag but was otherwise physically unharmed.
Police allege the driver of a white ute, a 39-year-old Moana man, was more than three times the legal alcohol limit.
Police allege after the attack the man drove at witnesses standing at the side of the road before parking his car metres from the scene and attempting to flee.
Members of the public stepped in to stop him.
“There was a bit of a punch up on the road,” resident Nicole Remnant told 9News.
“And they just … distracted him.”
The accused man was arrested at the scene and remains behind bars.
He’s been charged with three counts of acts to endanger life, aggravated driving without due care and drink driving.
He has been banned from driving for 12 months and is due to face court on Monday.
