A police officer has made a gut-wrenching plea to the nation after three brothers and their family friend were killed in a horror accident on a country highway
The three brothers, aged 19, 21, and nine, and their 45-year-old friend, were all killed in the single vehicle crash at Clackline, about 80km north-east of Perth, on Friday morning when their vehicle left the Great Eastern Highway and hit a tree.
In the wake of the tragedy Wheatbelt Superintendent Gene Pears described the accident as 'absolutely heartbreaking' and 'unimaginable'.
'Any loss of life on our roads is a tragedy. But when you lose three young men, three brothers and their family friend in one crash, this is a heartbreaking incident for WA,' he said.
'My heart goes out to the families... when you lose three young men in the prime of their life and their friend, this will have lifelong impacts for that family, for their friends, and for our community.'
