Darcey Kramme Lakes Entrance teen dies in car crash. Speed and alcohol blamed on an Australian woman’s death also claiming her two fellow male passengers.
The Victoria, Australian community of Lakes Entrance is trying to make sense of a car accident that led to the tragic death of 18 year woman, Darcey Kramme and two other men who’d been passengers in the car she’d been driving Tuesday night.
The 18 year old local of the small coastal town had been driving her car down a notorious ‘back road’ when she lost control and hit a tree, killing herself and her two passengers, Saturday early morning. Identified as crash victims reported the age were front-seat passenger Josh Lavery, 17, and Lake Tyers Beach man Brett Harvey, 36, who’d been sitting in the back.
At the time of the crash, Kramme, a probationary driver had been on her P plates. Speeds clocked at the time of the crash were in excess of 100km/h (62 miles per hour).
Kramme and her fellow passengers had been returning in the early morning hours of Saturday morning after having gone to a party when they crashed just on 2.15 am. Speed and drink would be attributed as factors in the crash reported 9news.com.au.
Offered Snr Sgt Bogle, ‘It’s a recipe for disaster,’
‘Kids think that they’re unstoppable but they’re not.’
Darcey Kramme had been scheduled to turn 19 two days before her car crash death:
Told Assistant Commissioner Doug Fryer in a press statement, ‘We’ve got three young lives lots and we have got the entire community of Lakes Entrance that are now devastated,’
He also revealed Darcey was to celebrate her birthday on Monday.
‘She was due to have 19th birthday on Monday – it is a birthday that will never be celebrated and a day that will be mourned by the community,’ AC Fryer said.
Following the popular teen’s death, an outpouring of grief followed;
‘I cannot come to terms with the fact you’re happy, energetic, smiling little soul is gone,’ one friend wrote on social media.
Adding, ‘It’s horrible that it takes such a tragedy to make you think about how quickly things can take a turn. Please to my friends, family and everyone else, stay safe on our roads.’
‘Waking up this morning to find out that you’re gone is honestly heartbreaking. Heaven gained an angel with a beautiful smile and full of joy,’ said another.
While one life-long friend wrote, ‘I’m struggling to find the right words to write, no words will ever be able to describe what I’m feeling right now. you really were something else, your smile that lightened up the room, your contagious laugh that made me laugh every time, your sense of humor that used to have us both in stitches’.
Her 17-year-old passenger was also remembered by friends.
‘We had some good memories that will last a life time,’ said one friend.
‘Love you brother, forever in my heart fly high,’ said another.
Youth, speed, invincibility and carefree carelessness claim more lives….
The three young victims were well known in the community, including to the emergency service crews who attended the crash.
‘Country roads are far more dangerous than metro roads,’ AC Fryer said as he urged the community to drive to the conditions.
Police remain on the small country road where the deadly crashed occurred and believe speed could be a factor.
‘Here we have three young people dead, we have three young people dead who have wrapped themselves around a tree and speed will clearly be a determining factor,’ AC Fryer said.
Just hours after the crash involving Darcey Kramme and her two passengers another two lives were lost after a head on collision in the state’s west.
