“About 7.30pm, emergency services responded to reports of a crash involving an ATV and a kangaroo at a property on Ferguson Rd.
“The 19-year-old male passenger of the ATV was airlifted to Royal Perth Hospital, where he received medical treatment for critical injuries sustained.

- An earlier version of this story said the all-terrain vehicle (quad bike) but buggies and three-wheelers can also be referred to as ATVs so the reference to quad bike has been removed.
