MEDFORD LAKES, New Jersey (WPVI) -- A 17-year-old high school student has died following a two-car crash in Burlington County, New Jersey, according to family members.
The crash happened around 12:30 a.m. Monday at Stokes Road and Pawnee Trail in Medford Lakes.
Police say the crash involved a head-on collision. Numerous rescue squads responded to the scene.
According to family members, Gianna Mastalski, of Mullica Hill, died in the crash. She was a senior at Clearview Regional High School.
When I heard the noise at first I thought a tree fell on the house," said Jill Fabritore, who lives nearby.
It wasn't a tree, but a car crash.
Fabritore came out of her home on Stokes Road in the middle of the night to find the scene.
"The one girl was laying here on the pavement and I asked, 'Can you hear me?' Because I wasn't sure if she was even conscious. And she did respond that she could hear me," said Fabritore.
Authorities said three people were trapped and four others were injured in the wreck.
There is no word at this time on the other victims' conditions.
Fabritore said she did what she could to help and keep them calm.
"Two of the fellas that I spoke to, I got their names and I called their parents. The parents came and I met them," said Fabritore.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
No charges have been filed at this time, officials said.
