An 18-year-old who was seriously injured after the car she was travelling in crashed into a tree in East Toowoomba. She died in hospital on Sunday.

Teenager Grace Farley who was seriously injured in a car crash in East Toowoomba last month has sadly died in hospital.

Police claim that just after midnight on March 25 a Ford Fairmont travelling northbound on Mackenzie Street left the road and crashed into a tree.

Ms Farley was a passenger in the vehicle.

She and the 20-year-old male driver were transported to Toowoomba Hospital in a critical condition after the crash.

Police released a statement on Sunday, April 30, conveying the tragic news that the young woman had died in hospital Sunday morning.

Grace Farley died in hospital on Sunday, April 30, having sustained serious injuries in a horrific single-vehicle crash on Mackenzie Street in East Toowoomba on March 25.

As reported in The Chronicle in the days after the crash, the teen and a woman friend of similar age had met the driver at a CBD hotel earlier that night and he had offered the women a lift home.

The other woman told The Chronicle they were not far from home when the crash occurred.

“(Once we stopped) I sat there, woke up and started screaming (my friend’s) name,” she said at the time.

The vehicle had split into two pieces on impact with the tree.

“The car was literally squished and the back was squeezed in between the skip bin — I couldn’t see her in the car, the floor wasn’t there,” she said at the time.

“I saw her lying down on the ground, moaning with pain — she couldn't move, couldn’t talk.”

The injured teenager was eventually transported to a Brisbane hospital in a critical condition.

In a Facebook post on Monday, Ms Farley’s twin sister Matilda Farley spoke of losing her sister.

“Forever my best friend Grace Farley, the best twin sister I could of asked for im so thankful for everything you have done for me, you’re so kind, loving, funny,” Matilda Farley wrote.

“Heavens gained a beautiful angle today, run a muck up there grapie there is never going to be a day that I’m not thinking of you. I love you so much beautiful girl.”

The Forensic Crash Unit was continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Police appeal to anyone who saw the vehicle prior to the incident, a blue 2007 Ford Fairmont sedan, or has relevant CCTV or dashcam footage to come forward.
