Kate Ritchie quickly left the scene shortly after being involved in a multi-vehicle collision on Wednesday afternoon in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

The Nova 96.9 radio presenter was reportedly behind the wheel of her black 2023 BMW X5 xDrive40i when the incident unfolded in Dudley Street, Randwick.

According to eyewitness accounts, Ritchie’s BMW collided with a parked Mitsubishi Pajero, pushing it hard off the road and into a parked Kia.

She then exchanged details with the driver before quickly setting off to pick up her nine-year-old daughter Mae, who she shares with ex-husband Stuart Webb.

No roadside sobriety test was carried out and NSW Police did not attend the scene.

It appears the drivers will handle the matter privately and Ritchie may be hit with a hefty repair bill.

The owner of the Kia, who wished to remain anonymous, explained that Kate said her personal assistant would follow up on the matter and that Ritchie did not appear under the influence of alcohol.

The three vehicles involved sustained significant damage and were subsequently towed off the suburban street.
