Mandurah scooter crash: Boy, 11, dies after scooter collides with car in fifth Easter weekend fatality

An 11-year-old boy has become the fifth person to die on WA roads over the Easter long weekend after his scooter collided with a car. The youth was struck by a blue Mazda station sedan on Mandurah Terrace near Stewart Street in Mandurah, at 5.10pm on Monday. He was rushed by St John WA to Peel Health Campus with critical injuries but later died. The Mazda driver, a 46-year-old man, stopped at the scene and is helping police with their inquiries. Major crash investigators have asked witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers, with anyone with footage from a dash cam or phone able to upload it straight to this police platform. The boy was the fifth person to die over the Easter period, with a 35-year-old man dying on Monday after his car slammed into a tree in Como. Editor’s note: A previous version of this story referred to the scooter as an e-scooter. A WA Police spokesperson has since clarified the scooter involved was a push scooter and not an e-scooter.
