The Pearcedale woman, believed to be in her 40s, remains in hospital in a critical condition with upper body injuries after she was involved in a serious car accident on North Rd on Thursday afternoon.

Detectives from the major collision investigation unit want to speak to anyone who witnessed the crash or with dashcam footage.
