ORGANISED crime detectives are investigating a horror crash in the South-West after drug-making equipment was found in the car.
Three men died in the crash, which occurred on the Donnybrook-Boyup Brook Road near Mumballup, about 235km south of Perth, this morning.
Major crash officers examining the crash site today found suspicious items consistent with drug-making in the car.
Organised crime detectives were then called in to investigate what they believe could have been a mobile drug lab.
A ranger found the vehicle down an embankment at 8.40am, but police believe the accident may have happened earlier. It is believed the driver lost control of the car at a bend, left the road and hit a tree.
The names of the victims have not been released and police said it was too early to determine how old the men were or where they were from.
Mumballup is a tiny settlement about 18km south of Collie, between Donnybrook and Boyup Brook. Muja Power Station, one of the region's major employers, is about 20km away.
It is understood the car involved in the crash is a Mitsubishi Magna and that it left the Donnybrook-Boyup Brook Road near the corner of Hearle Road, about two or three hundred metres from the small town.
Local businesses in the area reported hearing emergency sirens this morning but say they cannot see the crash site as a large section of the road has been blocked off.
It was initially believed that two cars were involved in a collision but police now say only one car was involved in the crash.
Locals say the road, a relatively narrow sealed road, is often thick with woodchip trucks and grain trucks during summer.
Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service fire-fighters from Donnybrook and Collie as well as St John Ambulance spent most of the morning at the scene.
Police Major Crash will continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
The deaths bring the state's road toll to 146.
