German tourist killed in WA crash

A female German tourist, aged 20, has died in a car crash south of Exmouth in Western Australia, with other foreign nationals also injured.

A 20-year-old German woman has been killed when a car carrying five foreign nationals rolled over in rural Western Australia.

Seriously injured in the crash, in the state's Gascoyne region, were a 15-year-old girl, an Israeli national, and a 21-year-old woman, also from Germany.

The 22-year-old female driver, also a German national, and an American man, whose age police have not disclosed, received minor injuries.

The accident happened when the 22-year-old driver lost control of a Mitsubishi Pajero, which then rolled over, near the small town of Lyndon, police said.

The crash occurred mid-afternoon on Tuesday on the Exmouth-Minilya Road, about 52km north of the Northwest Coastal Highway.

The injured were taken to a local hospital and transferred to Perth for further treatment on Wednesday.
