Teen driver in double fatal crash in WA
A 17-year-old boy was allegedly the driver in a car rollover that killed two adults and left a one-year-old with broken bones in a remote part of Western Australia.
Police say the crash occurred between Newman and Nullagine on Saturday evening. Two women, aged 34 and 35, died at the scene.
A four-year-old girl was hospitalised while another passenger, a woman in her 30s, escaped injury.
Staff from a nearby mine site provided first aid.
The boy, who sustained minor injuries, has been charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm and driving without a licence.
He appeared in the South Hedland Children's Court on Monday and is due to face Newman Children's Court on September 3.
