Jessica Falkholt dies after Boxing Day crash

Home and Away actress Jessica Falkholt has tragically died more than three weeks after a horror car crash which claimed the lives of her parents and younger sister.

The 29-year-old was pronounced dead on Wednesday, six days after her family made the heartbreaking decision to switch off her life support.

Jessica had been in a critical condition in Sydney’s St George Hospital since the Boxing Day crash on the New South Wales south coast.

‘On behalf of the family of Jessica Falkholt, St George Hospital has been asked to advise the media and the community of Jessica’s passing today at 10.20am,’ the hospital said in a statement. 

‘Jessica passed away from serious injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident on 26 December, 2017. The family has asked for privacy during this very difficult time.’ 

The actress was pulled from the wreckage with her sister Annabelle near Ulladulla, but her parents Lars and Vivian died at the scene.

Annabelle, 21, died from her injuries three days after the head-on crash which has now claimed the lives of the family-of-four.

The driver of the 4WD that slammed into the family’s car, 50-year-old habitual traffic offender Craig Whitall, was reportedly travelling home from a Nowra methadone clinic when he too was killed in the crash. 

More to come.
