A MAN in his 40s was killed when a 4WD lost control and hit a tree 2km south of Serpentine on South Western Hwy at about 11.30pm last night.
Three others in the 4WD were also injured.
A 26-year-old woman was flown by helicopter to RPH in a critical condition with head injuries.
A 17-year-old boy with serious injuries, including fractured legs, and a 17-year-old girl with minor injuries, were taken to Armadale Hospital by ambulance.
Police would not say if the victims from the southern suburbs were related.
It was not known who was driving the Land Rover Defender on the 110km/h highway.
It appeared the 4WD hit the highway's left shoulder, its path was over corrected and it went to the other side of the road and hit the tree, Snr Const David Magorian said.
The impact tore off the 4WD's roof.
The woman was in still in a critical condition at RPH early yesterday.
