Police are investigating a serious road crash in Gosnells after a motorcycle and a car collided in Perth's south-eastern suburbs on Friday night. Two people were seriously injured in the incident and emergency services attended the scene.

The crash has prompted a police investigation, with officers from the Road Policing Group South seeking information from members of the public who may have witnessed the collision or have relevant footage.

The incident involved a dirt bike and another vehicle. The force of the collision resulted in serious injuries to two people, who required medical attention following the crash.

Police are continuing to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision, including how the vehicles were travelling immediately before impact and what factors may have contributed to the crash.

Serious road crashes can require extensive investigations because officers need to examine the vehicles, roadway, available CCTV footage and statements from witnesses. Investigators may also look at traffic conditions and other evidence to reconstruct the events.

The crash occurred in Gosnells, a suburb in Perth's south-east. The area includes a mixture of residential streets and busy arterial roads, meaning traffic conditions can vary significantly throughout the day and evening.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or travelled through the area around the time of the crash to come forward. Dashcam footage can be particularly useful in serious crash investigations because it can provide investigators with an independent record of what happened.

The condition of the injured people has not been fully detailed in the initial police report, but they were described as seriously injured.

Road Policing Group South officers are continuing their investigation and may seek further information as more evidence becomes available. Police regularly encourage motorists to check their dashcam recordings after serious crashes, even if they did not initially realise they had captured relevant footage.

The incident highlights the risks faced by motorcyclists and other road users, particularly when vehicles and motorcycles share busy suburban roads. Motorcycles can be more vulnerable in collisions because riders have less physical protection than people inside enclosed vehicles.

Police have not announced any final findings about who was responsible for the crash. The investigation remains ongoing, and any future charges would depend on the evidence gathered by officers.

The crash was reported today, 8 August 2026, and is a new Gosnells-specific incident. I have not used older Gosnells stories or duplicated another Perth-area report.
