Dickson was among dozens of people who had gathered for Mondaymeets — which regularly draws crowds of car enthusiasts, some racing cars and doing burnouts — on the side of Camfield Dr in Burswood, Perth.

As the meet was wrapping up just before 10pm, a black Honda was captured on video speeding along the street and hitting Dickson.

She was thrown metres into the air, with the crowd heard yelling as they realised what had happened.

The teenager was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital, where she remains in a coma undergoing around the clock care.

Dickson’s parents said they are “still in shock” at what had happened.

“We are so very grateful to the first responders — it is a miracle our beautiful girl is still alive thanks to your efforts,” they said in a statement.

“Caitlyn is a fighter and we know she is in for the fight of her life.”

Witnesses Michael and Harlee rushed to help Dickson when she was hit.

“My first thought was ‘Oh my god, is she alright?’,” Harlee told 7NEWS.

“Michael and I went running over, he started clearing people out of the way.”

Police said officers were patrolling the meet during the night but were not there when Dickson was hit.

WA Police Commissioner Col Blanch said police would be clamping down on future meets.

“It’s not that we don’t support car meets but what we don’t support is reckless and dangerous behaviour that results in these tragedies,” he said.

Blanch said police would be alleging “excessive speed” and dangerous driving were involved in the accident.

A 25-year-old man has been charged with dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm in circumstances of aggravation over the incident and is due to appear in court on Wednesday.

The regular Mondaymeets spanned several other suburbs on Monday night including Jandakot and Melville.

Not long before the accident in Burswood, police impounded a red McLaren which was being driven without headlights on in Melville.

The driver, a 19-year-old man, was questioned and charged after it was also found he did not hold a valid licence, police said.

Michael, who witnessed Dickson get hit, said he hopes the reckless actions of a small number of drivers do not ruin future events for the rest of the car enthusiast community.

“The last thing that we all want on behalf of the car community is for everything to be shut down because of the one per cent that decide to ruin it for everyone else,” he said.

A fundraiser has been organised to help Dickson’s family.
