A man has died in a horror crash involving two road trains and a sedan on Brand Highway about 5.35am on 10th February. Emergency services arrived at the scene in Bambun which is about 68km north of Perth.

Major crash detectives rushed to the scene and were investigating the incident.

Inspector Vic Hussey said that the incident was completely distressing for everyone involved, including the family members and the relatives of the victimsS. He also added that the consequences of an accident involving two heavy vehicles are tragic and one person has lost his life as a result of that. The scene was extremely horrific that even the emergency responders who attended the scene feel traumatic.

One of the road trains rolled on its side and completely blocked the highway, creating traffic chaos. Motorists were insisted to take alternative routes as parts of highway between Gingin and Muchea were closed. Clean-up crews were working to remove the wreckage and the spilled grain, sand and cement, so the road was shut for a few hours.
