Mr Roberts-Walker, who was driving the car, was pinned under the debris and also died at the scene.

Knoll was one of the first to encounter this nightmarish scene as he headed home to his family property.

“Such a tragedy happened last night. I just reacted and did everything I could to help the young woman at the scene,” the former Australian Idol said. Daily Telegraph.

“Our prayers and condolences go out to their families at this terribly sad time.”

A volunteer rescue worker at the scene said the singer “literally ran” to the car and pulled the young woman out of the front seat as flames engulfed the car.

“He pulled her away from the car as best he could and heroically did everything he could before the police arrived,” he said.

The car crashed into a tree and caught fire at around 8.50pm on Saturday night.

It is understood Mr Roberts-Walker was from Casino but had recently moved to Ellangowan to live with Ms Melrose and her family.

The tragedy occurred near Casino, where Knoll and his family had moved to a farm after living in Sydney.

Local residents said the stretch of Ellangowan Road where the accident occurred is known for accidents, citing the narrow roadway and lack of lighting.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the crash, including whether speed was a factor.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
