Confronting crash pics shared in bid to find good Samaritans

Officers from the major crash investigation section allege Raymond Charles Ugle, 42, was behind the wheel of a Ford Falcon when it collided with a white Mercedes-Benz truck about 12.45pm on May 22.
The impact caused the truck's trailer to collide with a Hyundai hatchback at the corner of Grogan Road and Kingsford Smith Avenue.
The 46-year-old female driver of the Hyundai was trapped when her car became wedged underneath the trailer. She was seriously injured and cut free from the wreckage by firefighters.
In a bid to track down witnesses who assisted in the direct aftermath of the crash, police released three shocking photos of the 'horrific' scene on Wednesday. Crime stoppers can be reached on 1800 333 000 or online. Credit: WA Police / WA Police

He has been charged with dangerous driving in circumstances occasioning grievous bodily harm and a no authority to drive offence. Mr Ugle will front court again on Friday after being remanded in custody.

Man killed in truck rollover in Wooroloo identified as Arshpreet Singh Khahra, 23, who came to WA to study
The man killed in a horror crash after his truck rolled off the road and burst into flames has been identified as an international student. Arshpreet Singh Khahra died when his white Volvo truck crashed through a barrier on Great Eastern Highway near the intersection of Old Northam Road at 8.15am on Thursday. Footage from the scene showed the truck split in half and charred from a fire believed to have started inside the fuel tank. Mr Singh, 23, was found trapped inside the truck when emergency services arrived and declared dead at the scene. Multiple Punjabi news outlets reported Mr Singh was part of the Ram Khara Village in Tarn Taran. 'He had come to Australia as an international student,' Sea7 Australia wrote. 'After hearing the news of his death, the family members in the village are in a state of grief and have demanded that the Government bring the body to India as soon as possible. 'The Punjabi community in Australia has also expressed grief.' Three St John WA ambulance crews attended to crash scene, including its special operations team. The Department of Fire and Emergency Services sent career and volunteer firefighters to the crash. Just hours after Mr Singh's death, a 67-year-old male motorcycle rider died 22 days after colliding with a Hyundai SUV on Joondalup Drive. The rider was left seriously injured after colliding with a Hyundai SUV travelling in the same direction as him on Joondalup Drive near Wanneroo Road on May 28. The deaths bring WA's road toll to 94 — the highest number for this time of year in more than a decade. Major crash investigators are urging anyone who saw the Wooroloo crash, or who has any information relating to this crash, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online here.
