## Summary

Jack Symon Dunn has admitted dangerous driving after using unauthorised lights and sirens while travelling at more than 100km/h before a head-on crash in Wanneroo, Perth. Five people, including a child, were injured; the case highlights the danger of motorists mistaking unauthorised signals for those of an emergency vehicle.

Dunn pleaded guilty to aggravated dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm, four counts of aggravated dangerous driving causing bodily harm, and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Dashcam footage showed him overtaking across double white lines in a 70km/h zone before colliding with a Mercedes-Benz. Its driver suffered fractured ribs and air pockets in their lungs; Dunn removed and hid the dashcam’s SD card after the crash, but police recovered the footage. He is due back in court for sentencing on 29 January.
