The man was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital under lights and sirens, a St John spokeswoman said.

Major crash investigators were still examining the scene on Saturday, when a hospital spokeswoman said the patient was in a stable condition.

Asked if the driver continued on without stopping to render assistance or notify police, a spokeswoman said that would form part of the investigation.
