Three teenagers will wake up on Christmas morning in hospital after appearing to car surf on a ute before the driver lost control.
Police believe one of the youths was sitting in the tray of the ute just minutes before the P-plater, who has allegedly failed a breath test, crashed on Sunday morning.
Perth police say CCTV footage shows two other passengers on top of the Holden Rodeo utility car-surfing on the roof in the lead up to the accident.
