BREAKING NEWS Heartbreaking twist after Aussie parents die in Mother's Day tragedy
The loving parents who were killed during a freak car crash on a highway in Western Australia had their 17-month-old daughter in the back seat.
Emergency services rushed to Forrest Highway near Yunderup, outside of Mandurah, south of Perth, on Sunday at about 6.20pm following reports of a crash.
Harrison McElroy, 24, and Kayla Sheppard, 31, had parked their car in the southbound emergency lane and had exited the vehicle when a dark blue Volvo station wagon travelling in the same direction crashed into them.
The driver of the Volvo immediately called emergency services and stopped at the scene to assist the couple.
Both Mr McElroy and Ms Sheppard died at the scene.
When police arrived they found the couple's 17-month-old baby girl in the backseat of their white MG sedan.
