Driver hits man with car in alleged road rage attack
Midland detectives have charged a man over an alleged road rage incident that left a man with serious injuries to both his legs after being pinned between cars. Police said the alleged attack unfolded on Saturday morning after an incident between the accused, a 69-year-old man, and a 57-year-old man. The 57-year-old was driving a silver Ford Mustang coupe when he allegedly became involved in a minor crash with the 69-year-old near the intersection of Morrison and Farrell roads in Midvale at 11.15 am. Police allege the 69-year-old from Boya deliberately drove his silver Hyundai at the victim, pinning him against a third vehicle entering a nearby car park. The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics for serious injuries to both his legs before being conveyed to Royal Perth Hospital. The 69-year-old fled the scene but was later found by police at a nearby fast-food restaurant, where he was taken into custody. He was charged with unlawful damage, common assault and grievous bodily harm. The man was granted bail, and he is next due to appear before Midland Magistrates Court on July 25. Detectives are calling for any witnesses who were in the area at the time who may have dash camera vision of the incident to upload via this link.

WA news LIVE: One dead, two injured in horror Forrestfield crash; WA's housing crisis laid bare
Latest posts Latest posts 9.36am One dead, two injured in horror Forrestfield crash One person has died and two have been rushed to hospital after a horror crash in Forrestfield, at the intersection of Hale Road and Tonkin Highway, just after 10pm on Wednesday night. WA Police have since charged a 26-year-old man, who was driving a white Nissan Navara and allegedly failed to stop when asked by police, instead leading them on a chase. That chase ended when the 26-year-old allegedly hit a blue Ford Falcon station wagon, killing the man who was driving it. A female passenger in that vehicle was also injured and rushed to Royal Perth Hospital. The driver of the Nissan was taken to hospital under police guard for treatment. The man, from Middle Swan, has been charged with manslaughter, reckless driving to escape pursuit, dangerous driving causing bodily harm in circumstances of aggravation and no authority to drive. He was refused bail and will appear in front of the Midland Magistrates Court today. The crash has closed Tonkin Highway. Main Roads WA are assessing damage to two traffic light poles – one of which had to be removed this morning. Hale Road is also closed westbound from Reynolds Road to Tonkin Highway and emergency services remain on site. Drivers are urged to seek an alternative route. 9.36am Across the nation and around the world Here's what's making headlines today: It was 3.53am on Tuesday when Ben Holland, the head of Qantas' integrated operations centre, received a call from a duty manager. Information was streaming in about two ultra-long-haul Qantas flights from Perth to London and Paris. NATO secretary general Mark Rutte never thought the message would be shared publicly when he texted Donald Trump after US planes bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. In just 48 hours, US President Donald Trump pivoted from an unprecedented bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities to announcing a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, resulting in a flurry of diplomatic activity that left allies and adversaries scrambling to keep up. As the NATO summit in The Hague drew to a close earlier this morning, US President Donald Trump was asked at a press conference about NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte calling him 'daddy' in praise of his brokering of the Israel-Iran ceasefire.
