A GoFundMe fundraiser has been set up for the family of one of three men tragically killed in a shocking car crash in Baldivis.

Kody Bell was a passenger in a white Audi A3 when it allegedly ploughed at speed into a Kia Stinger on Sixty Eight Road just after 5pm on Wednesday.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help support the 24-year-old’s family — his wife Gabrielle and two young children.

The page, started by Mr Bell’s friend Jake Kelly, has already raised more than $17,000.

Father Jaziah Thomas, 24, was behind the wheel of the Audi and died at the scene.

Miraculously, a third passenger — Tyler Rowe — survived.

“I’m absolutely gutted to be writing this,” Mr Kelly wrote on the GoFundMe page.

“Kody Bell has sadly passed away along with his brother Will and his friend Jaziah.

“As you can imagine this is a incredibly tough time for all friends and family and I have started this GoFundMe to raise costs for Kody’s funeral arrangements and ongoing living costs for his wife and two young children.

“Anything donated will contribute greatly and will be extremely appreciated.”

It comes after Mr Rowe posted a heartfelt tribute to his mates who died in the crash.

Mr Rowe was flown to hospital in a serious condition after being cut from the Audi. His condition has since stabilised.

A heartfelt Facebook post by Mr Rowe had received more than 200 reactions in just over 24 hours since the terrifying crash.

“I LOVE YOU BOYS AND I’M GOING TO MISS YOUSE SO MUCH,” he wrote.

Several first responders have told of the confronting scenes in the aftermath of the collision.

Witness Dina King told how she held Mr Thomas’ hand in his final moments.

“I was holding the driver’s hand and kept telling him to listen to my voice and take deep breaths,” she said. “It was just horrific ... it was very, very sad.”

Police say speed was one of several factors involved in the crash.
