Road toll claims more lives in WA

THREE fatalities on West Australian roads and the death of a Chinese tourist in Tasmania have taken the Easter holiday road toll to four.

A 17-year-old boy died on Thursday after being thrown from a car which rolled several times on the Gnaraloo-Quobba Road near the WA town of Carnarvon.

Police said the East Carnarvon boy was a passenger in a Nissan Patrol when the driver lost control of the vehicle on Thursday afternoon.

People who had been following the vehicle stopped and performed CPR on the boy until ambulance crews arrived. He was taken to Carnarvon Regional Hospital but was unable to be revived.

The 17-year-old male driver was treated for cuts and bruises.

Hours later, a 20-year-old man was killed when a Ford Falcon ute he was driving hit a tree on the Collie-Williams Road near Collie at about 3pm (WST). His passenger, a 22-year-old man from Bunbury, was knocked unconscious and taken to hospital after a passing motorist pulled him from the burning wreckage.

Also on Thursday evening, a 19-year-old Bruce Rock man died after his car hit a large tree on Narembeen Rd near Bruce Rock east of Perth.

A tourist died in Tasmania on Thursday afternoon after a head-on collision between a Hyundai delivery van and a Volkswagen hatchback on the Bass Highway, west of Port Latta.

Two Chinese nationals in the hatchback, a 30-year-old male driver and his 32-year-old wife, were taken to the North West Regional Hospital, where the woman died. The man has undergone multiple surgeries and is in a serious condition.

A 31-year-old Burnie man who was driving the van suffered minor injuries but has been released.

(EDS: The Easter road toll figures are for the period 0001 April 17 to 2359 April 21)
