Cumberland police said Monday that two people were killed in a two-car crash.

Police said the cars collided on Pine Swamp Road. One person in each car died.

"I looked diagonally to my left and I see this SUV completely engulfed in flames," said Victor Trinidade, a resident who lives on Pine Swamp Road.

Investigators said a 25-year-old woman was one of the people killed. They did not release her name.

They were still working to identify the second person.

Pine Swamp Road was closed between Diamond Hill Road and West Wrentham Road for hours, but has since reopened.

Several emergency crews responded, including the Rhode Island State Police Accident Reconstruction unit. But before they arrived, some good Samaritans jumped into action.

One man told NBC 10 he went running down a nearby hill, and attempted to break the window and get one victim out.

"They were not able to ultimately get to them but for them to stop and try to help and be good, just good people trying to help someone out in a very tough situation is certainly commendable, with just an unfortunate result," said Police Chief Matthew Benson.

NBC 10's Molly Levine contributed to this report.
