Baby Killed in Horror Rideshare Crash in Perth Suburb
A 7-month-old baby died and two others were seriously injured when a rideshare vehicle left the wet road and hit a tree, police investigating cause and child restraints use.
- A 7-month-old baby died after a silver Toyota Kluger veered off Nicholson Road in Lynwood, Perth, early Saturday, striking a bus stop and tree around 3:40 am.
- Three passengers—a 32-year-old woman and a three-year-old child—sustained serious injuries in the collision, while the 35-year-old rideshare driver suffered only minor injuries.
- Residents rushed to help as one witness recalled the mother pleading, "My baby's not crying please help us, please help us- my baby's not breathing." Bystanders administered CPR.
- The infant was transported to Fiona Stanley Hospital but later died, while the three-year-old remains in Perth Children's Hospital. Police are investigating whether children were secured, as booster seats aren't legally required for rideshares.
- Major Crash investigators are examining what caused the vehicle to leave the road and appealing for public assistance. Anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the SUV is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
