Jaziah Thomas, 24, and his brothers Kody and William Bell, aged 24 and 21, were tragically killed in the crash on Sixty Eight Road in Baldivis, south of Perth, shortly after 5pm on Wednesday.

Shocking footage has emerged showing a white Audi sedan allegedly speeding down a road before crashing, killing three young men inside the vehicle.
About 20 minutes later, several fire trucks were driving down the road as they rushed to the scene of the accident.
Mr Thomas was driving the white Audi while the two brothers and another 21-year-old man were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash.
The two brothers and Mr Thomas tragically died at the scene after colliding with a black Kia Stinger, apparently at high speed.
A 44-year-old woman who was driving the Kia was also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Western Australia Police said the investigation into the crash was ongoing.
Detective Senior Sergeant Adam Matson told reporters on Thursday that several factors, including speed, were being examined as potential causes of the crash.
“Speed is certainly one of the factors we look at, but we’re not going to look at it in isolation,” he said.
Dina King, who was among several witnesses at the scene, said Western Australia the crash sounded like a “bomb” had exploded.
She said she was by Mr Thomas’s side for 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.
The horrific crash killed Jaziah Thomas, 24, and brothers Kody and William Bell, aged 24 and 21, immediately after the white Audi they were traveling in collided head-on with a black Kia Stinger shortly afterwards 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Kody Bell is survived by his wife and two young children, a son and a daughter.
Mr Thomas also had two young children, one aged just four months, with his partner Tamekah Locker, with the couple having been together since they were 14.
“It still doesn’t seem real and I’m still waiting for you to walk through the door and it breaks me to know you’re not going too,” Ms Locker wrote on Facebook.
“You are my whole world, my best friend and my person since we were 14 and I don’t know how I can live without you, I just want you to come home.
“Thank you for giving me our 2 beautiful babies, they love you so much and I’m so sorry you won’t be here to see them grow up but I promise I will make you proud and do everything we talked about for their future. I know you will watch over us all the time.
“Rest in peace to the love of my life and the most incredible, loving father and son.”
