An intoxicated teenage girl was crushed and killed by her fellow students when a massive house party got out of hand.

Sophia Crestani, 19, was fatally trampled on by her classmates after she jumped down a flight of stairs to avoid police.

It is believed that 500 to 600 students came to the two-story house where they were “packed in like sardines,” according to witnesses. The girl fell down the stairwell and was trampled to death after “panic set in.”

Sophia, who had an identical twin sister, attended the notorious party house known as “the Manor” in Dunedin, NZ. She was a second-year student at University of Otago and had modeling and acting profiles online.

Police were called by residents after the party grew out of control. A student who attended the party, who did not want to be named, told reporters that partygoers panicked because the police were on their way.

The witness claimed that Sophia Crestani had been drinking “plenty of alcohol” and appeared “impaired or intoxicated.”

The 19-year-old girl jumped from the top of the stairs as she tried to flee the scene, landing in the main entryway. The drunk teen snapped both of her legs and was crushed to death under the panicked stampede.

“She fell and people were just trampling all over her without taking much notice,” the witness said. “There was no wriggle room, if you fell over you weren’t going to get up for a long time.”

A pile-up of people gathered as partygoers fought to get out of the house. Female students wearing high heels reportedly stepped on the injured girl as they frantically tried to exit.

“It was such an awful sight to see, you know, there was obviously a girl dying,” the witness said.

Police eventually cleared people out and brought out the teen’s body, which was badly mangled. They performed CPR on the body for around 15 minutes before taking it onto an ambulance.

Identical twin Sophia Crestani grew up in Wellington and had just finished her university exams ahead of winter holidays. She was a keen surfer who had previously expressed an interest in fashion design.
