A 23-year-old man has been charged over a major crash in Perth's east which killed a pregnant woman and her baby, and tore their car in half.
The crash happened on Great Eastern Highway near Homestead Road in Mahogany Creek about 7:45pm on Friday.
Madeline Morgan, 21, was sitting in the front passenger seat of a blue Nissan Skyline being driven by another man when it collided with the accused's blue Ford Falcon.
She received critical injuries and was rushed to Midland Hospital where her child was delivered, but they both died a short time later.
The driver of the Skyline in which Ms Morgan was travelling was taken to Royal Perth Hospital with life-threatening head and chest injuries.
The 23-year-old Swan View man who was behind the wheel of the Falcon has been charged by WA Police with several offences.
They include two counts of aggravated dangerous driving occasioning death, aggravated dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm and aggravated dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
He is due to appear in Midland Magistrates Court next month.
The Falcon driver and a 19-year-old passenger in his car were both taken to hospital with serious injuries after the crash.
A second passenger in the car escaped serious injury.
Police are urging witnesses or anyone with dash camera footage to contact Crime Stoppers.
