A teenager has died and her passenger seriously injured after a horrific crash involving a minibus and a car.
A Mercedes sedan collided with a Mitsubishi Rosa minibus at the intersection of Bussell Highway and Tuart Drive in Yalyalup, south of Perth, at 6.30pm on Saturday.
The driver of the Mercedes, an 18-year-old woman, sustained critical injuries and died at the scene.
Her 17-year-old female passenger was seriously injured and taken by ambulance to Bunbury Regional Hospital.
