Albany Advertiser

Three people have been flown to hospital in Perth after suffering life-threatening burns in a fiery car crash north of Albany early Thursday morning.

Police say a Ford Falcon travelling on Menang Drive in Willyung lost control and crashed into a tree before bursting into flames about 1.30am.

A passerby pulled the 23-year-old female driver from the fiery wreckage, along with the woman’s two male passengers.

The passerby then drove the injured trio to Albany Health Campus, before they could be flown to Fiona Stanley Hospital.
