Teen girl fighting for life after horror crash at Burswood car meet

A 17-year-old girl is fighting for life after being struck by a car at a car meet on Monday night.

The teen was trying to cross Camfield Drive in in Burswood, WA, just before 10pm, which was lined by spectators, when she was hit by a black Honda Civic sedan.

She suffered multiple broken bones and was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital in a critical condition.

Mobile phone footage captured two cars speeding past spectators gathered outside the Crown complex.

Police said the incident occurred as a pre-arranged car meet was dispersing.

“We’ll be alleging excessive speed was involved, and other organisers have canceled similar meets or events later this week,” Police Commissioner Col Blanch said.

The meet was part of a regular event known as Mondaymeets, which draws large crowds of car enthusiasts each week.

Blanch said police were present earlier in the evening and had impounded a vehicle just before the crash.

“I think what we will do as a result is crank down even more and make sure that the behaviour of these organised car meets … what we don’t support is reckless and dangerous behavior that results in these tragedies,” he said.

The 25-year-old male driver of the Honda was not injured and is assisting police with their investigation.

Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at crimestopperswa.com.au.
