Police say the 58-year-old was struck by a maroon Nissan X-Trail about 5pm and allege the “driver failed to stop and render assistance”.

She was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital via ambulance with critical injuries.

Police said the alleged driver was found shortly after and arrested.

It is alleged he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs at the time of the incident and did not stop to help.

A 36-year-old man from Henley Brook was charged with failing to stop and ensure assistance, failing to report an incident occasioning grievous bodily harm, and dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

The accused did not apply for bail during an appearance in Rockingham Magistrates Court on Monday and will remain behind bars until his matter is heard again in July.

Naughton’s husband told 7NEWS she walks the same route daily and faces months in hospital, with a long road to recovery.
