Police are searching for good Samaritans who attended the scene of a serious crash near Perth Airport.

Officers from the major crash investigation section allege Raymond Charles Ugle, 42, was behind the wheel of a Ford Falcon when it collided with a white Mercedes-Benz truck about 12.45pm on May 22.

The impact caused the truck’s trailer to collide with a Hyundai hatchback at the corner of Grogan Road and Kingsford Smith Avenue.

The 46-year-old female driver of the Hyundai was trapped when her car became wedged underneath the trailer. She was seriously injured and cut free from the wreckage by firefighters.

In a bid to track down witnesses who assisted in the direct aftermath of the crash, police released three shocking photos of the “horrific” scene on Wednesday.

Crime stoppers can be reached on 1800 333 000 or online.

Police urge the good Samaritans to contact crime stoppers to help with the ongoing investigation.

The 37-year-old male driver of the truck was not hurt and Mr Ugle was transported to hospital with minor injuries before facing Perth Magistrates Court on May 23.

He has been charged with dangerous driving in circumstances occasioning grievous bodily harm and a no authority to drive offence. Mr Ugle will front court again on Friday after being remanded in custody.
