A child has been killed and four others have been injured in a crash in Western Australia's Kimberley.

WA Police said a gold Nissan X-Trail turned off Great Northern Highway and rolled on a sand track in Fitzroy Crossing about 9:55pm last night.

Seven children aged between 12 and 16 were travelling in the four-wheel drive vehicle at the time and one — a 12-year-old girl — died at the scene.

Four others were treated in hospital for injuries.

Major Crash is investigating the accident.

Anyone who may have seen or has dash cam footage of the crash, or who saw the vehicle travelling in the area beforehand, has been urged to come forward.
