Weir Road crash: Driver rushed to hospital after being freed from rolled rubbish truck in Baskerville

A man is being rushed to hospital with serious leg injuries after he was freed from a rubbish truck which rolled north-east of Perth. St John WA sent four ambulances and multiple fire trucks were at the scene on Weir Road in Baskerville after emergency services were alerted to the truck rollover around 10.45am on Monday. A Department of Fire and Emergency Services spokeswoman said a rubbish truck had rolled on its side, trapping the 57-year-old driver. He was rescued from the cab of the truck just before 12pm with serious leg injuries. Firefighters were desperately trying to remove the roof of the truck after it rolled in order to reach the driver, who was conscious and breathing. A St John WA spokeswoman said the man was being taken to Royal Perth Hospital after the RAC rescue helicopter was stood down.
