Tarago car crash: Heartbreak as Brooke Sorlie and Charlie Quinn are pictured as victims of horror triple-death road accident

EXCLUSIVE 

Two young women killed in a horror car crash have been identified as friends pay tribute to the 'beautiful' 'angels'.

Brooke Sorlie, 21, and Charlie Quinn, 18, were travelling in a car with two men, aged 21 and 20, through Tarago, about 40km south of Goulburn in the NSW Southern HIghlands, when the vehicle left the road and rolled at about 1.10pm Sunday.

Ms Sorlie, Ms Quinn, and the 20-year-old man died at the scene while the 21-year-old driver escaped with minor injuries.

He was able to get out of the vehicle unassisted and was taken to Canberra Hospital for treatment and to undergo mandatory blood tests. 

Tributes have begun to pour in for the three crash victims, who are all from the Shoalhaven region of the NSW South Coast. 

One friend said described Ms Quinn as an 'amazing friend'.

'She always had time for anyone always kind and positive was loved by everyone and had a contagious smile,' they told Daily Mail Australia. 

Another friend said she would be 'gone but never forgotten'. 

'You will be by so many Char,' they said.

'Rest easy girl. The love I have for you will never end.' 

One of Ms Sorlie's friends said she 'always had a smile that would light up anyone's day'.

'I will always cherish my memories with you gorgeous girl,' she said. 

'Love you Brookie chookie.' 

Another friend of Ms Sorlie's wrote online: 'Fly high gorgeous angel.'

'Looking at the sky for you.'

According to posts on social media, Ms Quinn left Bomaderry Highschool around June last year and was pursuing further studies through TAFE.

Ms Sorlie, an avid equestrian, graduated from St John the Evangelist Catholic High School in Nowra, several years ago.

Pictures posted online show the girls enjoying the prime time of their lives - going on holidays with their boyfriends, attending music festivals, and hanging out with friends.

One photos posted in December 2021 shows Ms Quinn, standing next to her father, beaming as she holds up a newly-earned Learners plate.

'Congratulations young lady,' a family friend commented.

'The world is yours now but tread lightly.' 

Daily Mail Australia understands the group were travelling back home to the Shoalhaven region at the time of the crash.  

A woman who was one of the first responders at the scene said she and other bystanders worked desperately to save the lives of the other man and woman while waiting for emergency services to arrive.

'They were unconscious. We were giving them CPR but it just wouldn't work. It was awful,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

'One girl was still trapped in the car - the driver's girlfriend. I can still hear hear his screams.

'He was screaming to try and get in the car to get his girlfriend out.' 

Special crash investigators are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident, including whether speed was a factor.

The tragedy has sparked outrage online as locals slam the condition of the road, which is frequented by freight trucks.

'One of the worst roads I've driven on. Patched potholes everywhere. It's been shocking for years,' one person said.

Another added: 'The roads are a disgrace. I drive on them a lot and it is not fair that the roads are in this condition.'

One woman claimed there was a slab of concrete laying on the road near the crash scene, presenting a possible obstacle for drivers.

'My family members were first on scene and there was a massive piece of square concrete on the road that appeared to have possibly caused the crash,' she wrote online. 

However, another first responder told Daily Mail Australia they did not recall seeing the object on the road.  

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
