SHOCKED police at a crash that killed two teenage girls said words could not describe the devastating scene.

Zara Simon and Samantha Neilsen, believed to be 18 and 16, died when their Toyota Corolla skidded about 20m from Hawkesbury Rd, Anstead, 16km southwest of Brisbane, and ploughed into a power pole in the early hours of yesterday.

Police said they were driving home from a party.

The impact of the crash tore the vehicle in half, throwing the front section about 10m down the road.

One neighbour described the eerie silence that followed. "It makes you feel lucky it wasn't you," he said.

By yesterday afternoon, friends had taken to social networking sites to pay tribute to the girls.

"RIP Zara Simon, you amazing and beautiful girl, I will always miss you," one said. "Samantha Neilsen and Zara Simon, I actually can't believe you guys are gone, it's just not right," said another.

`"Rest In Peace girls, you guys passed way too young. My thoughts go out to you and your families''

Samantha Neilsen had just completed Year 11.

Metro north Inspector Mark Laing described the crash scene as "horrific". "Words can't describe the scene to be honest," he said. "It's just a tragic loss of two lives . . .

even after 30 years you see something like this - it still affects us individually."

He said excessive speed was a factor in the crash.

"Each year there are a lot of new drivers on the road, young drivers. But it's not just the young drivers, it's all ages. Please slow down, drive to the conditions and drive (to the limits) within yourself," he said.

Power was cut to the street for several hours as emergency crews worked to remove the car from the power pole.

The 2013 road toll now stands at five after a 36-year-old Buderim cyclist was hit by a car at Mooloolaba on Saturday afternoon. He died at the scene.

A 19-year-old Blackstone man and his 28-year-old cousin visiting from New Zealand were also killed when they were thrown from a car driven by an 18-year-old near Ipswich on New Year's Day.
