A tragic car crash in Dalkeith on February 15, 2025, has led to the death of 24-year-old Elizabeth Pearce, a University of Western Australia student.

The family of Pearce expressed their devastation, stating, 'Our world is shattered' following the incident.

Bellinge, a 45-year-old obstetrician, was allegedly driving at 130 km/h in a 50 km/h zone when the collision occurred.

At the time of the crash, Bellinge had a blood alcohol level of 0.183, nearly four times the legal limit.

Despite receiving CPR from bystanders and paramedics, Pearce succumbed to her injuries at the scene.

In memory of Pearce, flowers and messages were left at the crash site, highlighting the community's grief over the loss.

The crash occurred on Birdwood Parade, a high-end residential area in Perth, when Dr. Rhys Henry Stone Bellinge's Jaguar collided with the ride-share vehicle driven by Pearce.

The driver of the ride-share vehicle, a 25-year-old man, was critically injured and required extraction using the jaws of life.

Bellinge has been charged with manslaughter and dangerous driving, and his medical practice has announced he will be unavailable for appointments due to 'unforeseen circumstances.'

Currently hospitalized with serious injuries, Bellinge is under police guard and awaits a bail decision.

Concerns have been raised about Bellinge's emotional state, with indications of a discrepancy between his public persona and private actions.

Bellinge is scheduled to appear in court, facing charges that could include manslaughter or the lesser charge of dangerous driving causing death.
