An Attadale man has been charged with drink driving after a crash in Fremantle that left a 24-year-old passenger with serious injuries.

Police say a white Toyota Camry and a white Ford Ranger collided at the intersection of Carrington and Marmion streets about 8.40pm last Sunday.

The passenger in the Camry was taken to Fiona Stanley Hospital with severe injuries, while the drivers of both vehicles were treated at the scene and did not require hospital treatment.

A 36-year-old man who was driving the Ford Ranger, has since been charged with exceeding 0.08 blood alcohol content.

He is due to appear in Fremantle Magistrates Court on July 3.

Major Crash investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the collision and have called for witnesses or anyone with dash-cam footage to come forward.

The crash came during National Road Safety Week, as WA Police stepped up enforcement targeting the “Fatal Five” causes of serious and fatal crashes — speeding, drink and drug driving, fatigue, seatbelt offences and distraction.
