The woman behind the wheel of a Hyundai was trapped for half an hour before emergency services could cut her free.
She was then rushed to the state trauma unit at Royal Perth Hospital where she remains in a serious but stable condition.
It looks like we will transport 4 people from the crash in #Success, 3 adults and a child.
