A man in his 60s was seriously injured after he was hit by an out-of- control car while walking along a footpath in North Beach on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The incident happened just after 11am on West Coast Drive near Malcolm Street with police claiming that two vehicles crashed before one mounted the footpath and hit the pedestrian.<\/p>\n

They said the accident began with a white Ford Ranger utility that lost control, colliding with a blue Holden Frontera station wagon.<\/p>\n

The station wagon then mounted the footpath and struck the man, pushing him over a limestone retaining wall into bushes.<\/p>\n

The driver of the Holden was not injured but the impact caused \u201csignificant damage\u201d to the wall and a light pole that knocked out power in the area.<\/p>\n

The pedestrian was taken by ambulance to Royal Perth Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.<\/p>\n

The driver of the Ford, a man aged in his 40s, is currently assisting police with inquiries.<\/p>\n

Police said they were seeking any witnesses to the incident, along with CCTV or dashcam vision, particularly from anyone travelling in the area at the time.<\/p>\n
