\"Gosnells<\/p>\n

Two young men are lucky to be alive after being thrown metres through the air in a terrifying collision caught on camera south-east of Perth.\u00a09News<\/p>\n

The pair, both 20 years old, collided with a Camry just before 9pm at the intersection of Eudoria and Walter Street, Gosnells.<\/p>\n

Their unlicensed dirt bike was torn apart in the crash and debris sent flying everywhere.<\/p>\n

Miraculously, they survived the crash and are recovering at Royal Perth Hospital after suffering non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

The driver of the car was unhurt.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s crashes like this one that WA\u2019s state government says it\u2019s working to prevent with the road toll so far this year at 137 people.<\/p>\n

A $78 million program was announced on Saturday, featuring a number of upgrades across the state.<\/p>\n

There are 110 projects planned around the state, including 50 in regional WA and also 60 in the metropolitan area, Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said.<\/p>\n

It includes one on Guildford Road in Bayswater, where along the stretch of the dual carriageway between Grafton Road and Ferguson Street, there have been 66 crashes in the past five years.<\/p>\n

There will be a $52,000 project for a new signalised pedestrian crossing and better street lighting.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of several black spots getting a fix, which also includes traffic signals and pedestrian upgrades in Vincent and better lighting in Armadale.<\/p>\n

There are signs the road safety message is getting through with authorities recording a 78 per cent drop in seatbelt and mobile phone offences since AI cameras were introduced.<\/p>\n

But ultimately, the record spend is hoping to reduce the number of fatalities not just fines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WARNING: Some viewers may find footage confronting.
