'Extremely special' teenager tragically dies in horrific car crash

A teenage girl has been identified as the victim of a fatal car accident in South Australia.

Ivy-Rose Hughes, 19, died on Wednesday night when the Mazda SUV she was travelling in collided with a Mitsubishi utility in McLaren Vale.

The vehicles rolled down an embankment, with footage from Nine News showing the Mazda flipped on its roof.

The teen had shared video of a small outdoor concert she and friends attended just hours before the crash, the TV network reported.

The crash hospitalised seven people, including three other passengers and the driver of the car Ms Hughes was in.

Two are in a serious but stable condition.

Investigations are ongoing into the crash.

Local residents say crashes are common at the junction and called for more signage to warn motorists of the dangers.

Friends took to social media to pay tribute to Ms Hughes, who was a promising netball player for Matrics Netball Club.

"You were someone extremely special and rare, I couldn’t be more grateful of our friendship," one friend said on Facebook.

Ms Hughes' death is the 15th on South Australian roads this year.
