"Secret police photographs uncovered by the Herald Sun last November revealed the extent of the damage to the front of the Andrews’ family car and its windscreen, prompting calls from a former Victorian crown prosecutor for a fresh review of the case.
Police also failed to use breathalysers at the scene.
Ryan – now 25 – and his family have condemned Mr Andrews, the then-opposition leader, for leaving the scene after calling triple-0.
Questions over why the damaged vehicle was allowed to be driven away from the crash site have also been raised.
“The car should never have been allowed to leave the scene, for two reasons: one is, it was a very serious incident and needed proper forensic assessment and two, the car was unroadworthy,” former Police Chief Commissioner Kel Glare said in April."
