Train services around Perth were disrupted last night after an allegedly drunk driver drove his ute through a fence in Northbridge and came to rest on the tracks.

The incident happened near Perth station at the intersection of Roe and Fitzgerald streets in Northbridge.

Train services on the Joondalup and Mandurah line were disrupted for about two hours while the utility was dragged away.

Police later tweeted that the driver had been charged with "DUI".

Transperth may seek compensation from the driver for damage to its property.

Spokesman David Hynes said the driver is fortunate he was not seriously hurt.

"He's lucky there wasn't a train coming into the station at the time," he said.

"Otherwise it could have ended up much worse."

Meanwhile, the death of a truck driver near the South West WA town of Collie has taken to 10 the number of people killed on the state's roads in the past five days.

Police said the driver's vehicle left the Collie-Williams Road and hit a tree about 11:00pm Thursday.

The rescue helicopter was sent from Perth, but was turned back when he died at the scene.

It follows a horror stretch on Western Australian roads in the past week, including a triple fatality on Sunday after a crash on Old Yanchep Road, north of Perth, when a four-wheel-drive collided with a sedan.
