Two young girls have tragically died in hospital more than a week after they sustained critical injuries in a serious car crash in Western Australia.
Details of the Incident
The children, aged three and four, passed away at Perth Children's Hospital on Sunday evening, according to WA Police. The crash occurred on April 17 when a silver Ford Territory was travelling east on Muriel Street near Cranwood Crescent in Viveash, in the city's eastern suburbs. Just before 2:30pm, the vehicle left the road and struck a tree.
The girls suffered life-threatening injuries and were rushed by ambulance to hospital, where they received medical care for nine nights. Police confirmed, "Sadly, late on Sunday evening ... both children passed away from their injuries."
Other Injuries and Investigation
The driver, a 24-year-old man, and a female passenger, also aged 24, were taken to Royal Perth Hospital with serious injuries. Authorities have not provided an update on their condition.
Major Crash investigators are appealing for any witnesses to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers with information about the incident.
This tragedy adds to a grim tally on Western Australian roads, with 58 people killed in 2026 so far. Police continue to urge motorists to drive safely and remain vigilant.
