A Young Indigenous Mum Is Fighting For Her Life After She Was Hit By A Police Car In Perth

A young First Nations woman has been hit by a WA police car in Perth’s CBD. According to the state’s police minister, it was her own fault for not seeing the car coming as a pedestrian — which is straight up not how road rules work. Colleen Calgaret, 20, is fighting for her life with serious head injuries in intensive car after she was struck while crossing Welling Street in the early hours of Saturday morning. Her partner and baby boy are at her side at Royal Perth Hospital while her family demands answers as to what happened to her.

“We don’t even know ourselves, from the moment we found out, what exactly happened,” Calgaret’s sister Mariah said per National Indigenous Times.

“If anyone has footage we would like to see it ourselves.”
