Macey and Riley, aged 7, were in a Toyota Camry allegedly being driven by their mother along the Great Eastern Highway near Carrabin on February 18 when the vehicle veered off the road and into a tree.
The girls died at the scene while their 31-year-old mother Rachel van Oyen survived the accident and was taken to Merredin Hospital before being discharged later that day.
