Perth teen charged after property crash

A 17-year-old P-plate driver has been charged after allegedly losing control of his car and smashing through the fence of a Perth home, causing extensive damage.

The sedan came to rest against the front wall of the Heathridge home after it crashed through a front brick boundary fence just before 10.30pm on Tuesday, police said.

The driver and a passenger allegedly ran from the scene, with a teen driver later charged with careless driving and failing to report a crash.
