An emergency services worker has been injured after a man drove through a roadblock set up after a young woman died in a car crash east of Melbourne this morning.

Just after 6.20am the 18-year-old died when she lost control of her car on the Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road in Yellingbo and crashed into a tree.

She is yet to be formally identified and the exact circumstances are being investigated.

Her death is the 85th on Victorian roads this year, almost made worse by the actions of a man who put the lives of emergency services workers at the scene at risk.

Just after 8am the 26-year-old from Noble Park allegedly drove around a roadblock with a Country Fire Authority (CFA) truck and two men in his path.

Police said a firefighter and tow truck driver stepped out to stop the driver when the car collided with the firefighter.
