Mandurah road rage incident: 29-year-old Greenfields man facing charges after couple hit by car

A 29-year-old man has been charged over a road rage incident in which he allegedly hit a couple with his car.

The incident unfolded about 10.25pm on Thursday when a white Mitsubishi Triton tray-top and a small silver vehicle had a minor crash on Mandurah Road near Park Road in Greenfields.

The vehicles followed each other through various streets including Mandurah Terrace, Henson Street and Anstruther Road until the Mitsubishi Triton pulled over on Crawford Street in Mandurah.

“Two occupants of the Triton exited the vehicle and walked towards the silver vehicle,” police said.

“The silver vehicle did not stop, hitting both people.”

Police have charged the Greenfields man with two counts of intent to cause grievous bodily harm or prevent arrest wounded or caused grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving and no authority to drive.

He will face Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

The couple — Ashleigh, 36, and Jason, 38, — suffered serious injuries after they were struck.

They were first taken to a local hospital before being transferred to Royal Perth Hospital.

Ashleigh suffered a broken vertebrae and needed 170 stitches in her leg while Jason is riddled with broken bones including his ribs, eye socket, nose, lower back and leg.

“As we’ve turned he’s a metre away from us he’s at full revs, I’ve had enough time to grab her by the hips and push her to the side and we both got sent flying,” Jason told 7NEWS.

“I was yelling out to Ash to see if she was ok, because I couldn’t get to her, I was metres away and I was laying on the floor and I tried to stand but completely collapsed, I knew my legs were busted.”

The pair were taking Jason’s teenage son and his girlfriend to get ice cream when the road rage incident happened.

Jason said the teenagers were left traumatised after watching him and Ashleigh get “cleaned up by a car after him trying to run us off the road several times”.

Neighbours rushed out to help the couple.

Jason is now set to have surgery in the coming days with his recovery in hospital expected to take weeks.

The heavy haulage pilot will be unable to work for up to six months.

“I’m now going to struggle to pay rent to support my son in Year 10, it was his 16th birthday on Friday so we’ve spent the whole of his birthday in hospital,” Jason said.
