Muckenburra: Man dies in single-car crash on Gingin Brook Road

A man was killed in a horror single-car crash after the car he was travelling in hit a tree north of Perth on Wednesday.

Emergency services were called to the scene at Muckenburra about 2.45pm Wednesday after a green Suzuki swift — travelling west along Gingin Brook Road — left the road and struck a tree.

The 72-year-old male passenger received critical injuries and died at the scene.

The 34-year-old female driver was flown to Royal Perth Hospital by the RAC rescue helicopter for serious injuries, where she remains in a stable condition.

The fatal crash comes just two weeks after a 69-year-old female driver died after colliding with a truck along the same road.

The woman’s white Hyundai crashed into a white-and-red Kenworth prime mover in Neergabby on Friday, August 28.

She was travelling west and the 51-year-old male driver of the prime mover was travelling east when the two vehicles collided on Gingin Brook Road.

Emergency services arrived at the scene shortly afterwards, but the woman could not be saved.
