Fatal Tarago car crash death of Charlie Quinn – Obituary
Eighteen-year-old Charlie Quinn was one of the victims in a tragic car accident that resulted in the deaths of three young people over the weekend in Tarago, NSW.
The fatal crash took place on Sunday at the intersection of Bungendore and Collector roads in Tarago, a small town in the NSW Southern Tablelands. According to police, the vehicle carrying the group veered off the road, rolled over, and ended up on its roof.
Charlie Quinn, along with Brooke Sorlie, 21, and a 20-year-old man, were trapped inside the wreckage and could not free themselves. All three were pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle, a 21-year-old man, managed to escape the overturned car with minor injuries. As of now, no charges have been filed, police confirmed.
Tributes for Quinn, Sorlie, and the other young man, all believed to be from the Shoalhaven region, have flooded social media as news of their identities emerged.
“Rest in peace, Charlie. You were taken from us far too soon,” a mourner posted online. “I can’t believe you’re gone. Totally heartbroken,” another person wrote.
“Forever in our hearts,” another tribute read. Friends and family described Charlie Quinn as a bright and loving individual who touched the lives of everyone she met.
A first responder at the scene recounted the harrowing cries of one of the men involved, who pleaded for help to save his girlfriend. “They were unconscious. We tried CPR but it was no use. It was heartbreaking,” she told Daily Mail Australia.
“One girl was still trapped inside — the driver’s girlfriend. His screams for help were gut-wrenching,” she added.
Criticism regarding the condition of the roads in the area has surfaced online, with residents calling the stretch “one of the worst” due to “patched potholes everywhere.” Another person remarked that the roads “have been in terrible shape for years,” deeming it unfair for the roads to be in such a state.
Authorities urge anyone with information about the crash to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Police will compile a report for the Coroner.
