UPDATE: Road Safety Commissioner Adrian Worner has told Gary Adshead the lack of experience means younger drivers are seriously overrepresented in fatal accidents on WA roads.

“Alcohol and drugs aren’t the factor they are with older drivers; there’s a general change in attitude related to drinking and driving,” Mr Worner said.

“Speeding is the cheapest and quickest issue to fix; we just need enough people to make the right decision more often.”

The first eyewitnesses on the scene have described the carnage at the Baldivis crash which tragically claimed three lives around 5pm yesterday.

A 24-year-old male driver and two male passengers – aged 24 and 21 years – received critical injuries and died at the scene.

Local Dee told Millsy and Karl on 6PR Breakfast she was walking her dog when she heard a “terrible explosion” about 80 metres down the road.

“I thought of nothing else but wanting to keep this guy alive; it was just horrible,” Dee said.
