Two people have died after a car carrying five people blew a tyre and rolled down a bank in Western Australia.

The tyre blew about 7km from the Willare Roadhouse in Derby on Friday night, causing the vehicle to flip over and roll down a steep embankment.

A 22-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man died in the crash.

A 40-year-old man was flown to Darwin Hospital with serious injuries, while two other seriously injured women were taken to Derby Hospital.
