Baltimore Cres resident Trudiana Brightwall told the Herald she saw the crash happen.

Brightwall said the car initially hit a van then a tree.

She believed the people in the car were in their late teens.

"They seemed very young, you know, and it is sad to see that up close and personal."

She then saw her neighbour heading to the scene and called an ambulance.

The Serious Crash Unit remained on the scene until about 6am, Brightwall said.
