'So much life to live': Two dead, one in hospital after 4WD drives off cliff

Two men have died after the car they were in plunged off a cliff at a remote beach in Western Australia.
Matthew Farr and Louis Eeles were part of a group of six friends camping at Little Bay, about an hour north of Geraldton, at the weekend.
In the early hours of yesterday three of them went for a drive, and Farr and Eeles, both aged 22, were killed when the Nissan Patrol plunged down a cliff.

"This is a tragic incident where we've lost two young boys and our heart goes out to the families," Superintendent Steve Post said. 
"Miraculously one person managed to survive - he then made his way back up the steep incline," he added.
The sole survivor, 21, has spinal and neck injuries, and also suffered memory loss. He is recovering in hospital.

Tributes flooded social media today, describing the two 22-year-olds killed as being full of life.
Trent Brown said his cousin was someone with so much life to live, who loved his family.
"Louis had so much life to live, he was such a smart, motivated boy who just loved his family with his whole heart," he said.
The vehicle plunged off a cliff near the coastal community of Horrocks.

Brown also lost his best friend, Farr, "one of the kindest, most selfless people you could ever meet".
Police are now making a plan to remove the vehicle as they work to determine what went so wrong.
The group left the campsite in the middle of the night, wanting to go four-wheel driving, but it's unclear what happened next.
"There's every indication that this is just a tragic accident and these boys have been driving in the car and these boys have accidentally gone off the cliff," Post said.
WA Police were called to the scene about 3.45am after one of the other campers woke up and realised the men hadn't returned.
