Man charged with murder over WA crash

A man who allegedly deliberately drove his 4WD at other vehicles on a WA highway, killing a woman when he crashed head-on into her, will remain in custody in hospital after he was charged with murder.

Shaun Southern was charged on Monday with one court of murder, plus reckless driving, following the incident on the Bussell Highway at Capel in February.

The 46-year-old from Usher is still in hospital after he was seriously injured in the incident, and remains in custody after his bedside hearing.

Mother-of-two Jenni Pratt, 61, of Geographe, died after the crash, which was caught on video.

Several witnesses filmed the incident after being concerned by the man's driving, capturing the head-on collision which resulted in his 4WD bursting into flames.

Ms Pratt's passenger, a 54-year-old woman from Busselton, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The man will face Stirling Gardens Magistrate Court on March 29.
