Three adults in the vehicle died after suffering critical injuries in the crash.
Witnesses and nearby residents told 9News they heard revving moments before the collision.
“The roof semi-ripped open so yeah, pretty mangled – and it’s an old car too, so it’s made out of proper steel,” one witness said.

“(It) was up on its side … (and) wedged between two trees that are only … 1.5, maybe 2 metres wide on the side,” another witness said.
“It was pretty totalled, but we tried to see if there were plates on there to see if we could identify who they were, or if they were locals.”
Police closed the stretch of road to all other traffic while investigations were carried out.
The tragedy is now being investigated by major crash scene investigators from Western Australia’s police force.
