The woman in her 50s was injured while travelling along the Vasse-Yallingup Siding Road, about 240km southwest of Perth, on Monday night.
She was taken to Busselton Hospital before being transferred to Royal Perth Hospital, where she remains in a critical condition.
A severe weather warning for much of the southwest has now been cancelled after a period of heavy rain and damaging winds.
Emergency services have answered more than 100 calls seeking assistance since Monday morning.
There was also light snow on Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Range national park in the state's south.
A minor flood warning is in place for people in the Swan River catchment between Walyunga and Toodyay near the Darling Scarp.
The river at Walyunga is currently at 3.15 metres and rising, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services said on Wednesday.
WA last month recorded its wettest July in 26 years.
Several cars were submerged in floodwaters in the state's Wheatbelt region, including that of a 34-year-old driver whose body was found by police last week.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
