A 23-year-old woman and her two young sons were injured when their Ford Falcon collided with a truck on Lilydale Road in Chidlow on the morning of May 9, 2014. PerthNow’s initial report, citing Western Australian police spokeswoman Ros Weatherall, said the southbound car left the road, re-entered the carriageway and spun into the path of the northbound truck.

Where and when did the crash happen?

PerthNow reported that the collision occurred at about 9:15 a.m. on May 9, 2014, on Lilydale Road in Chidlow. The Ford Falcon was travelling south and the truck was travelling north, according to the report.
