Three people have died in a horror crash in Lancelin.

The crash happened on Sunday around 3.20pm on Indian Ocean Drive, about 15km north of the Lancelin town site turnoff, when a Toyota Hillux travelling south crashed into a camper trailer being towed by a Toyota Landcruiser, also travelling south.

The impact caused the trailer to flip.

The Hilux then crossed to the wrong side of the road and crashed head-on with a Toyota commuter bus.

The drive of the Hilux, a 66-year-old man, died at the scene.

A man on board the bus also died at the scene, while another passenger died later in hospital.

Nine other people were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Investigators would like to speak to anyone that witnessed the crash, or that saw the vehicles prior to the crash to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to make a report online at crimestopperswa.com.au.
