Fatal or a 338?
I was a little confused listening to what was going on there. I think there were two separate incidents, one initially thought to be a 215, but then changed to 338? The other was definitely at TA, but don't think a fatal one.
Anyone else happen to catch what was going on?

I wasx going past this--there was an accident near by, but about 2-3km north of the accident police were directing traffic into the emergency lane. In the fast lane their was a blue, tent about 3x3 square metres, obviouusly covering something. traffic was idling from the accident scene, all the way up to the police.

While I was stuck in traffic, about 200m before the tent an police, an ambulance came past us in fast lane,(forcing cars over). They were no longer then a minute with the police, when they came back towards us(opposing traffic)

after seeing all this, I still have know idea what was going on

I read yesterday that a man was walking in the emergency lane and died suddenly from natural causes.

Initially, it was thought he had been hit by a car, but this was not the case. All of the commotion caused some rubberneckers to have several accidents, one a little more serious than the others, but nobody severely injured.

Serious TA - truck-roll-over.... this Morning

On Roe Highway, a truck rollover between Nicholson Road and Willeri Road is also causing build-ups, with traffic possibly reduced to one lane.

Also in that link - Traffic light faults Morley Drive & Wellington Rd. FYI.

Commercial radio this afternoon (from after 4pm) mentioned several times in their traffic reports, a TA "truck v ambulance" on Mounts Bay Road (near the 'boatshed'). Nothing on 'thewest.com.au' or 'perthnow.com.au' about it. Anyone have any other info??

I'm interested to see what the outcome of this was too...

According to 6PR news at 10am, a copper came off his bike in Baldivis around 8am-ish, and the ambulance got a police escort to the hospital. I don't know anything else about the story at this stage, but first impressions make one wonder why this particular incident got a police escort.... hmmmm

Doesn't ring a bell with me at the moment... What did you want to know?

There was a Sunday Times photographer with his yellow vest there - taking pics of the car on it's side etc - Just wondering if it ever made the news, and also if the occupants were ok?
