Man fights for life after escape from burning car

A man was fighting for his life last night after being rushed to hospital with serious burns after escaping from a fiery crash in Wattle Grove.

Police say the man was on fire as he ran from the Toyota Camry he was travelling in after it collided with a Toyota Tarago on Crystal Brook Road about 8pm.

The car was ablaze after the crash, which started a small bushfire that put out by firefighters.

Paramedics took the man to Fiona Stanley Hospital.

A woman, who was also in the car, was taken to Royal Perth Hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

The man driving the second vehicle had minor injuries.
