A mortgage broker allegedly involved in a horrific crash in which four police officers died constantly spoke about his Porsche online and posted videos of the luxury cars.
Richard Pusey, 41, was pulled over on Wednesday afternoon for allegedly travelling at 140km/h on the Eastern Freeway, prompting police to conduct an oral fluid test which allegedly returned positive for drugs.
Two officers called for back-up from colleagues to impound the car when a semi-trailer ploughed into the group. Four police officers were killed.
Police allege that in the aftermath, Mr Pusey took photos of the scene and shared the graphic images with friends, which were then shared by people on Facebook. ... The 41-year-old allegedly left the scene of the crash on foot. Police made contact with him overnight.

Dashcam footage has emerged of a black Porsche, believed to be the same vehicle involved in the horror crash that killed four police officers, speeding down the Eastern Freeway last month.
Uber driver James Tsagros was travelling close to 100km/h on March 21, about 5.10pm, inbound on the Eastern Freeway towards the Hoddle Street exit when a black Porsche sped past.
"All of a sudden this car has gone swoosh past me on the left hand side, my car just vibrated. It was like a Formula 1 car went by," Mr Tsagros told The Age.
