The teenage driver of the Ford Falcon suffered injuries in the collision and was treated at the scene before being conveyed by ambulance to Royal Perth Hospital.

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash and are calling on anyone with information or dash-cam footage to come forward.
