WA Police have charged a 35-year-old motorcycle rider following a hit-and-run crash in Warnbro a fortnight ago that has left a 78-year-old man seriously injured in hospital.
Police say that at around 3.20pm on November 3rd, the elderly man and his dog were crossing Currie Street near the intersection of Evans Street.
