A pedestrian was thrown over a limestone retaining wall and left seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle that allegedly lost control in North Beach on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The man in his 60s was injured after police said two vehicles collided on the busy coastal stretch between West Coast Drive near Malcolm Street about 11.15am.<\/p>\n

Police allege a white Ford Ranger lost control and collided with a blue Holden Frontera station wagon before mounting the footpath and striking the man.<\/p>\n

The force of the impact pushed him over a limestone retaining wall and into the bushes below.<\/p>\n

The collision caused significant damage to the wall and a nearby light pole, which then fell onto the footpath before the Ford Ranger came to a complete stop in the southbound lane.<\/p>\n
