Five fatal crashes within the space of just a few days have marked a grim start to Western Australia’s Christmas holiday break
December 19 claimed the life of a 74-year-old man after his Kia Optima left the road and hit a tree on Walcliffe Road about 5.35pm
A 24-year-old man died in a crash in Landsdale on Thursday
a Mazda 626 hit a tree on Alexander Drive in Landsdale
three more people died in three separate crashes across the state’s south-west
Holden Jackaroo hit a tree while driving on Emu Fence Road

but a 31-year-old man in the passenger seat died at the scene
A crash involving a black sedan and a motorbike claimed the life of the motorbike rider in Canning Vale on Sunday
an off-road motorbike crashed on Nanarup Beach
a rider was killed when their motorbike and a black sedan collided on Nicholson Road in Canning Vale about 11.10pm
and the 18-year-old driver of the sedan was taken to Royal Perth Hospital
The spate of crashes came as the double-demerit period began on WA’s roads
with police warning they were out in force to crack down on the “fatal five” this holiday season
Road Policing acting Commander Mike Peters said WA Police was continuing the mantra of “anywhere
“The message is simple: don’t speed,” he said
“Every police vehicle across the state will be undertaking some form of enforcement and our safety camera fleet will also be out in force
“One life lost on our roads is one too many
we urge everyone to drive safe this holiday season and keep in mind the safety of yourself and the safety of others.”
WA’s road toll now sits at 183 fatal crashes for the year
edging closer to the recent high of 195 deaths in 2016
But there is still a way to go to match the horror seen on WA roads in 2007
making for a fatality rate of 11.1 per 100,000 people

The council in March 2015 voted to set aside $150,000 in their 2015-16 budget towards the project

Many Landsdale locals plan on attending the lake for a candlelight vigil in Sam's memory on Wednesday night

He said Sam could not have been more blessed to have devoted parents who had loved him unconditionally since he was born.
"Sam was so dear to us all and his premature passing is a tragedy we are still struggling to deal with," Mr Trott said.
"Since his diagnosis of autism, they've been unrelenting in their quest to create every opportunity for him to thrive and fulfil his potential.

"He was a happy, affectionate and loving child with an in infectious smile, and brought so much sunshine into our lives."
Mr Trott said the family was overwhelmed by the compassion and unity shown by the thousands of people from the Landsdale community and beyond, and the outpouring of public support they had received.

"We'd like to make special mention of the thousands of people who gave their time and were involved with the search," he said.
Mr Trott said the family was "fortunate to be part of such a wonderful community" and said the public could make a donation to Autism WA if they wished.
The family also thanked volunteers for their support and flowers, with bouquets laid on an oval where the search efforts were coordinated.
Inspector Gary Lewis said in his 30 years of policing, he had never seen such a response from the people of Perth.

People had come to the search site from as far as Rockingham to help look for Sam, with many volunteers turned away at the start of Wednesday morning's search because of the overwhelming support.
He said volunteers were visibly shaken when told that Sam's body had been found.
After the tragic news broke, there was an outpouring of sadness from strangers, who offered prayers and condolences to Sam's family.
A man played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes, which could be heard across the lake where Sam was recovered.
Police said a report would now be prepared for the coroner.
Earlier, police confirmed that a body pulled from a lake in Landsdale just before 10am was that of Sam Trott.
The State Emergency Service cordoned off an area around Snake Swamp in Warradale Park as divers pulled a small body from the water, with a tent erected at the scene, about 400m from Sam's home.
A desperate 24-hour search for the missing toddler overnight failed to find the little boy, with efforts stepped up on Wednesday morning as the community rallied to help locate him.
Sam's parents Lyndal and Matthew were notified of the discovery just after 10am on Wednesday, with police, family and friends at their house in support.
WA Police thanked members of the public and SES volunteers for giving their time to assist in the search for Sam, while the WA Police Union also paid its respects.
"Our hearts go out to Sam Trott's family and the officers who recovered his little body from the lake. Devastating news," the union tweeted.
The tragic discovery comes after hundreds of residents from Landsdale and beyond joined more than 100 police in the search for Sam in the bushland suburb, about 20 minutes north of Perth.
There was a massive queue at 9am outside the Warradale Community Centre as volunteers joined forces to sign up for the search. There were so many volunteers wanting to help that police had to tell some of them to return in two hours, as the SES could safely accompany only 60 people at a time.
Two-and-a-half year-old Sam walked out of the family home on Walbrook Mews in Landsdale about 10.30am on Tuesday when tradesmen were understood to have left the front door open.
Hundreds of Landsdale locals, some as far as Rockingham, joined an army of police, emergency services and volunteers combing surrounding streets, parks and bushland on foot and horseback, with police dogs and the air wing unit.
It was well past midnight and hundreds of locals were still turning up to the police control point at the Warradale Community Centre, where people of all ages were split into search parties, using mobile phones, torches and headlights in their quest to find Sam.
Sam's grandfather Geoff Trott said the family was extremely grateful for the outpouring of community support and assistance for his "very special" grandson.
He told Radio 6PR he'd been up all night searching for the missing toddler.
"It's not a time when you can sleep," he said.
He said Sam's parents were "very distraught" and had been out all night searching the streets, calling Sam's name.
The family was overwhelmed by the response to the search for little Sam.
"It's staggering. We always knew Perth was a pretty generous place, but the spirit of people has just been fantastic," Mr Trott said.
A Landsdale local told Fairfax Media that the whole community was out looking for Sam as police upped the ante in their desperate search for the toddler.
Another resident Anna, who has lived in Landsdale for 20 years, joined other locals and people from all over Perth in the search for Sam on Tuesday night, and said it was amazing to see a community rally together in such circumstances.
"We joined the search for a few hours last night with no luck unfortunately... the poor little darling, I hope they find him," she said.
Students and teachers from Lansdale Primary School were alerted to the search for Sam over the school PA on Tuesday afternoon and also helped joined the search to find him, as their parents collected them after school.
Landsdale locals told Fairfax Media that police had sent alert messages to residents asking them to help keep an eye out for Sam by searching their properties thoroughly.
Sam's parents Lyndal and Matthew appealed for help on Tuesday afternoon, with his mother saying she asked Sam to close the fridge door and, when she heard it beep again, again asked her son to close it before realising he was not in the house.
Workmen had been at the home and Ms Trott said one of them may have left the door open.
"He doesn't know how to open doors but the door was wide open," a distraught Ms Trott said.

Homicide detectives are chasing up leads after a man was shot in his Landsdale home overnight.
Police suspect the 47-year-old victim knew the person who shot him in the early hours of Wednesday morning at his Montacute Turn property.
Officers arrived at the house after a disturbance was reported around 2am and found the man seriously injured. He died later in hospital.
Other people — including the man’s partner — were present in the home, but no one else was injured.
Police believe the incident was a targeted attack and said the public have no reason to fear for their safety.
6PR reporter Ezra Holt said residents in the area are “very shocked”.
“They’re surprised, because it’s not a neighbourhood where something like this would happen, they all feel quite safe in this area.”
