WA: Man and woman dead after separate road accidents in WA

PERTH, Dec 30 AAP - A man and a woman are dead after two separate accidents in Western
Australia, taking that state's holiday road toll to five.

A 27-year-old woman died when she lost control of her car and crashed into an embankment
while driving along Stoneville Road, Stoneville, in the Perth Hills about 1.40am (WST)
today.

Earlier, a 30-year-old man died in Onslow in Western Australia's north west after being
hit by a car about 7.55pm yesterday.

A WA police spokesman said it appeared the man was intoxicated and walked onto the
road where a car struck him from behind.

These incidents follow the death of a 92-year-old Perth woman on Wednesday after she
was struck by a car while crossing the road on a motorised scooter in Perth's east on
December 23.

The deaths bring the national toll for the 15-day holiday period to 31.





(EDS: AAP's Xmas/New Year road toll figures are for the period 0001 December 23 to
2359 January 6. Some state and territory police forces may use different road toll periods.)
