AI-generated summary
Three young people died in a high-speed motor vehicle crash on 2-4 December 2015 in Western Australia. The driver, Matthew Conduit, was under the influence of alcohol and methylamphetamine, and was speeding at over twice the posted limit when he lost control and crashed into a tree. Two passengers (Armstrong and Eades) died at the scene; a third (De Agrela) died two days later from head injuries. Police officers had initiated a brief pursuit which was appropriately aborted within 25 seconds when the driver turned off headlights and drove on the wrong side of the road. The coroner found the crash was caused by the driver's excessive speed and reckless driving, not the police pursuit. However, the coroner recommended the WA Police Emergency Driving Policy be more prescriptive and restrictive, and suggested implementation of post-incident decision-making analyses and regular practical refresher training for emergency driving qualifications.
