Former police commissioner Kel Glare is due to hand over a new dossier of information on the so-called \u201cbike boy\u201d collision<\/a> involving Daniel Andrews to the current force chief Mike Bush on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Mr Glare has arranged to personally deliver the information \u2013 collected by private investigators over the past four years \u2013 to Mr Bush\u2019s office at Police HQ on Spencer Street. <\/p>\n

\u201cI expect action. I think I\u2019ve got a fairly good idea about what\u2019s worth following up and what isn\u2019t,\u201d Mr Glare said.<\/p>\n

In January 2013, a Ford Territory carrying Mr Andrews and his wife Catherine collided with 15-year-old cyclist Ryan Meuleman<\/a> at Blairgowrie. <\/p>\n

Meuleman was left fighting for his life and spent ten days in hospital where he lost part of his spleen. <\/p>\n

Uniformed police members who attended the collision on the day were later disciplined for not conducting breath tests.<\/p>\n

The new dossier includes interviews with witnesses who attended the scene soon after the collision, but were never spoken to by police investigators. <\/p>\n

Mr Glare will also deliver the findings of the late traffic expert Dr Raymond Shuey, who investigated the collision before his death in 2024. <\/p>\n

Dr Shuey\u2019s report disputed the version of events provided by Mr Andrews, concluding that Ford Territory was travelling at speed at the time of the collision. <\/p>\n

\u201cI knew Ray for a very long time,\u201d Mr Glare said. <\/p>\n

\u201cRay was one of my assistant commissioners. I regarded him as a tremendous colleague and a good friend. I agree with every word he wrote in that report.\u201d <\/p>\n

Repair records from a local panel beater and Mr Andrews\u2019 phone log also form part of the brief. <\/p>\n

Mr Glare ran Victoria Police for five years from 1987 to 1992 and said he admired Mr Bush. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think Mike\u2019s doing a really good job under difficult circumstances. I was chief commissioner when the state was bankrupt. I couldn\u2019t get any extra resources. The situation has really repeated itself years later. The state\u2019s bankrupt again. That puts the chief in a very difficult position\u201d Mr Glare said. <\/p>\n

Mr Meuleman, who is suing Mr and Mrs Andrews in the Federal Court for defamation,<\/a> is currently in custody amid several criminal charges. <\/p>\n

It is understood that Mr Meuleman is considering his options regarding the Federal Court defamation action as he battles for his freedom. <\/p>\n

He is due to appear at Dandenong Magistrates Court later this month over carjacking charges.<\/a><\/p>\n
