Police are seeking witnesses to a chaotic car crash that left a 71-year-old man with serious head injuries this morning.

Police spokeswoman Ros Weatherall said that about 10.30am today an 81-year-old woman was driving a Hyundai Getz in the forecourt of the Caltex Woolworths service station at Grand Promenade in Dianella.

Ms Weatherall said the man walked from the service station shopfront toward his parked car when he was allegedly hit by the woman’s car.

Ms Weatherall said the woman allegedly continued driving over kerbing, and onto the southeast-bound lanes of Grand Promenade.

Her car then careered over the raised centre island before hitting a steel bollard and entering the northwest-bound lanes of Grand Promenade.

The Hyundai came to rest after colliding with the back of a Transperth bus.

The woman received minor injuries.

The man received serious head injuries and was taken to Royal Perth Hospital.

Anyone who saw the crashes should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
