Convicted drug trafficker and businessman John Kizon remains in a critical but stable condition after crashing his car outside a Perth hospital almost one week ago.

Mr Kizon, 56, crashed his BMW into a parked vehicle, then travelled through several bollards and hit a tree outside Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Nedlands on Tuesday night after reportedly suffering a heart attack.

Often referred to as a "colourful Northbridge identity", Mr Kizon has had several run-ins with the law over the decades, including serving a prison term as a young man for heroin trafficking.

Mr Kizon has long said he is an honest businessman who police continue to harass because of his criminal past.
