A teenage girl has died and her passenger seriously injured after a horrific crash between a minibus and a car.
A Mercedes sedan collided with a pink Mitsubishi minibus at the intersection of Bussell Highway and Tuart Drive in Yalyalup, south of Perth, at 6.30pm on Saturday.
The driver of the Mercedes, an 18-year-old woman, suffered serious injuries and died at the scene.
Her 17-year-old passenger was seriously injured and was taken by ambulance to Bunbury Regional Hospital.
The driver of the minibus, a 23-year-old man, was uninjured.
Despite recent improvements, the road is a notorious accident hotspot.
In April, a 40-year-old man died at the same intersection after his motorcycle collided with another vehicle.
In March last year, a 69-year-old man died after his motorcycle was hit by a car.
The crash happened at the intersection of Bussell Highway and Tuart Drive at Yalyalup, about 220km south of Perth, at 6.30pm on Saturday night.
Residents called for the speed limit to be reduced from 110km/h to 80km/h after a series of accidents along the Bussell Highway, including the death of a 29-year-old man who was killed when a truck collided with his van.
Major crash investigators are urging anyone with information relating to Saturday’s crash to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
