Jye Cooper charged after Rockingham mum Nicole Naughton mowed down while walking her dog
Harrowing footage shows the moment a Rockingham mother was mowed down on her evening walk and left for dead. The CCTV was released by the husband of the victim, Nicole Naughton, who wants people to see exactly what she endured. It shows Ms Naughton walking her dog on Evinrude Bend about 5pm on May 18, when an SUV turns a corner and swerves onto the wrong side of the road. At that point, Ms Naughton, who was just metres from home, is mowed down, sent sliding down into the dirt. She was critically injured — and the Nissan X-Trail doesn't stop. Ms Naughton, 58, was left alone for ten minutes before police arrive. A couple of minutes later, an ambulance arrives. Ms Naughton was so injured she was rushed straight to Royal Perth Hospital and into an operating theatre. She had 12 broken ribs. Her only saving grace was that her skull was spared. But the mother's face has been stitched back together. Jye Cooper, 36, has been charged over the incident. Crash investigators allege he had alcohol and drugs in his system. He is facing charges of failing to stop and rendering assistance after an incident causing grievous bodily harm, failing to report the incident and dangerous driving occasioning bodily harm under the influence of alcohol and drugs. He will be back before a magistrate in July. In the meantime, Ms Naughton faces more surgeries and rehabilitation.
