Both were taken to Perth Children’s Hospital.

The 39-year-old male driver of the Mitsubishi Pajero was uninjured.

In a separate incident, police charged a 26-year-old man with a string of offences after a police chase ended in a dramatic crash on Mounts Bay Road early on Thursday morning.

Police spotted a white Holden Commodore Sedan travelling on Canning Highway in Bicton at 12.40am.

The driver allegedly failed to stop and the Police Air Wing tracked the vehicle as it allegedly travelled recklessly from Bicton to Perth.

A stinger was deployed on Mounts Bay Road and the vehicle continued driving until it hit a wall at the intersection with Barrack Street.

During a search of the vehicle, police allegedly found a replica firearm, a meat cleaver and methamphetamine.

The man has been charged with failure to comply with a direction to stop, reckless driving to escape pursuit, no authority to drive, possessing a prohibited weapon, possessing a prohibited drug and using an unlicensed vehicle.

“One life lost on our roads is one too many, we urge everyone to drive safe this holiday season and keep in mind the safety of yourself and the safety of others,” Peters said.
