Tragedy as two girls, 7, are killed in horror crash between Perth and Kalgoorlie

Two young girls, both aged seven, have tragically died after the car they were traveling in crashed into a tree halfway between Perth and Kalgoorlie.

The girls, believed to be twins, died at the scene of the accident in Carrabin, Western Australia, on Sunday morning.

The 31-year-old woman behind the wheel was rushed to Merredin Hospital by St John paramedics.

“Upon arrival at the scene, it was confirmed that the vehicle was a white Toyota Camry sedan, which had left the road and crashed into a tree,” the police statement said.

The accident closed the Great Eastern Highway for several hours, blocking a major road through the Wheatbelt region.
