Two brothers, including a young father-of-two, have been killed in a horror crash on a highway south of Perth.

Kody and William Bell, aged 24 and 21, along with a third man who has not yet been identified, were tragically killed in the crash on Sixty Eight Road in Baldivis shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday.

A black Kia Stinger and a white Audi sedan collided head-on at high speed. Police confirmed four men were in the Audi at the time of the collision.

The third victim was also 24 years old.

A Kia Stinger and an Audi sedan collided at high speed on Sixty Eight Road in Baldivis, 45km south of Perth, at 5.10pm on Wednesday.

“We had our ups and downs, but we always managed to overcome them.”

Acting Washington Police Inspector Brendon Barwick said it was a “miracle” that there were any survivors from the crash.

“It’s quite confronting. This does not impact one or two families but the entire community,” he said.

A witness, Dina King, who rushed to the scene, said she saw the engine of one of the cars about 80 meters down the road.

She said she was with the driver of the Audi during his final moments.

“I was holding the driver’s hand and kept telling him to listen to my voice and take deep breaths,” she told The West.

When a phone inside the car began to ring, Ms. King answered and was tasked with breaking the news to a mother whose sons had been killed.

Ms King said the mother told her sons not to drive that night.

Lead detectives are currently investigating the collision, with police believing speed may have been a factor.
