A major emergency unfolded south of Perth on Monday morning after a car rolled in a collision at the intersection of Cockburn Road and Mayor Road in Coogee. Three men in their 50s were injured in the crash, which occurred around 5:40am.
Emergency Response and Injuries
Three St John Ambulance crews responded to the incident. The most seriously injured man was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital under normal road conditions, while the other two were taken to Fiona Stanley Hospital for treatment. All patients were men in their 50s.
Traffic Disruptions
Traffic remains slow in the Coogee area, and drivers are urged to exercise caution, particularly in wet conditions. The crash is contributing to a chaotic morning on Perth roads.
Additional Incidents
Another crash has halted traffic in Oakford, south east of the city, after two cars collided. St John Ambulance and Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) attended the scene. Police reported that both drivers sustained minor injuries and were able to exit their vehicles.
On the Kwinana Freeway southbound on Mt Henry Bridge at Salter Point, a separate crash has reduced traffic to a single lane, causing heavy congestion on approach.
