00:00 This is where the vehicle came to rest, halfway down a cliff in the early hours of Sunday morning.
00:07 Those who were in the four-wheel drive were camping nearby with friends between Horrocks Beach and Port Gregory when they decided to go for a drive.
00:16 Where the tragic accident happened, it was probably one of the steepest parts that they went over.
00:24 But normally it's just flat ground, sheep country, and I would say at that time of night they really didn't have any idea that they were approaching the cliff edge.
00:35 Unfortunately, the vehicle has driven off the cliff. It appears to have rolled and landed on its roof on the steep and treacherous incline.
00:48 Two men in their early 20s died at the scene. A third man, who survived, climbed back up from the wreckage and was found by his friends and taken to hospital for treatment.
00:58 There's every indication that this is just a tragic accident and these boys have been driving in the car and accidentally gone over the cliff.
01:08 Police say the survivor was in the rear of the vehicle and had seatbelt injuries, suggesting the restraint may have saved his life.
01:16 A local towing company is working with police on plans to remove the vehicle from the cliff.
01:22 It's devastating. I just feel so sorry for the parents. I'm in grief. Yeah, it's sad, very sad.
01:29 Major crash investigators are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
