The husband of a mother-of-four who was killed when the driver of a B-double truck lost control and veered onto the pavement in a Sydney suburb has returned to work ‘to make ends meet’ just days after her death.
Khristiee Jazairy, a 44-year-old executive assistant from Sans Souci, in the city’s south, was waiting for a bus when she was hit and thrown into a disused building, which then collapsed.
Her former husband Baha Jazairy, an Uber driver who works long hours and late nights, has returned to work in order to ‘support himself and his family financially,’ a gofundme page set up for the family reads.

‘Khristiee Jazairy was waiting for a bus while killed … Her grieving husband Baha Jazairy still has to make ends meet while driving for Uber. His youngest son only five years of age.
‘We hope that funds raised will mean that Baha Jazairy has the ability to have some quality time off work during this grieving process to spend with his children.’
Mr Jazairy paid tribute to his ex-wife of 22 years in a series of Facebook posts, one of which read: ‘Rest in peace my queen’.
In another he wrote: ‘Oh my beautiful Khristiee, I will miss you so much, no one will ever love you as much as I did, you have never left my heart, even after all these years.’
Ms Jazairy died and five others were injured after the truck plowed into pedestrians in Sydney’s Alexandria on Wednesday morning, before hitting a power pole

Her son Leon, 26, added ‘you will always be in my heart mum’ and ‘love you till eternity’.
Mr Jazairy added after watching dashcam footage of the large truck hitting his wife, he thought she had been looking in another direction.
He said: ‘From the footage I have seen it looked like she was facing south so I don’t think she saw it coming’.
Ms Jazairy said he still hasn’t been able to tell the youngest of their children, their five-year-old son, that his mother has died.

He said: ‘Everybody is devastated, shocked – Khristiee was so full of life.’
The mother’s siblings, two brothers and one sister, are flying from out-of-state to be with her family.
The terrifying dashcam footage, filmed from a car driving in the opposite direction, showed the enormous truck swerving into oncoming traffic at around 7.45am in Alexandria, in the city’s inner south.
A driver moved quickly to get out of the way and narrowly avoided the collision.
As the car passed the truck, a flash could be seen from behind as the accident sent debris flying.
The 44-year-old woman died and two of the five injured are fighting for their lives in hospital.
The driver is understood to have suffered a medial episode.
