Two people have escaped serious injury after their boat smashed into the Mandurah Estuary Bridge.

Police say the pair were onboard a four-metre vessel that collided with the fishing platform under the bridge around 7pm on Thursday, May 28.

A WA Police spokesperson has confirmed no one was thrown into the water and one person suffered minor injuries.

The RAC rescue helicopter was deployed to the scene but it is understood it was not required to transport anyone to hospital.

The injured man was conveyed by ambulance to Peel Health Campus.

Police are seeking witnesses who saw the incident, or the vessel prior to the collision, to report online via www.crimestopperswa.com.au or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
