This morning, there was a serious incident involving Sam Kerr's grandmother in Perth's south-east. Coral Kerr, who is 89 years old, was getting off a bus in Palmyra when a driver, attempting to overtake the bus, mounted the curb and struck her. The incident occurred just before 11am and has left the community in shock and concern for Coral's well-being.
Witnesses, including neighbor Mary Ivey, rushed to Coral's side and called her family for help. Ivey spoke to 9News about the incident, saying that Coral was not responsive at first and appeared to be in shock. She also mentioned that the driver seemed to be impatient and made a reckless decision to drive onto the footpath while trying to overtake the bus.
Neighbor Florence Mudge also witnessed the incident and shared her account with 9News. She explained that the driver was trying to pass the line of cars stopped behind the bus, but ended up hitting a power pole before striking Coral just a few meters away from her home on Marmion Street. Another neighbor, Noeline Mudge, expressed frustration with the impatience of drivers in the area and the frequent occurrence of accidents.
According to locals, the area is known as a hot spot for crashes and this particular incident was the worst they have seen. Gilbert and Kaye Anderson, who have lived in the area for many years, shared their concerns with 9News and mentioned that there have been four accidents in the last two months alone.
Meanwhile, family and friends are praying for Coral's recovery as she receives treatment at Royal Perth Hospital. She is currently in a serious but stable condition. Mary Ivey, who was by Coral's side at the scene, expressed her hope that Coral has the strength to pull through this.
