About 2.15pm, three 16-year-old males were in a red 2002 model Holden Commodore travelling north along Morangup Road. As the vehicle neared Toodyay Road, a tyre has blown out causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The Commodore left the road and crashed into trees before catching fire.
The driver and a rear passenger received critical injuries and died at the scene.
The front passenger was airlifted to Royal Perth Hospital by the RAC Rescue helicopter with serious injuries, including burns and smoke inhalation.
