A young Brit has died after suffering a seizure behind the wheel and resulting in a crash while living in Australia. Annie Evans-Lewis, 21, had moved across the world to start a “wonderful” new life with boyfriend Cai.

But tragedy struck on 23 May when the Welsh woman crashed her car near Perth. The 21-year-old, from Carmarthen, reportedly swerved off the road and slammed into a tree before suffering catastrophic injuries. She sadly later died in hospital the same day.

Doctors later told Annie’s heartbroken loved ones that she had suffered a seizure while driving, which caused the fatal crash. Her devastated family are now facing a £35,000 struggle to bring her body home.

Family and friends said the pain of losing the “energetic, chaotic and hilarious” young woman has been “indescribable”.

A fundraiser has now been launched to help bring Annie home to Wales for her funeral.

The money raised will go towards repatriation costs, funeral care fees in Australia, flights for family members and other expenses linked to the heartbreaking process.

Annie’s loved ones described her as a “loving, kind and down to earth person” who was adored by everyone around her.

They said she would always be remembered as a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin, girlfriend and friend.

Emily Davies, who organised the fundraiser, said: “The pain being felt by all who knew her and loved her dearly is indescribable.

“Annie was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin, girlfriend, and a friend to many.

“She will always be remembered as the most energetic, chaotic, hilarious, loving, kind and down to earth person.

“I speak on behalf of my whole family when I say the response from this so far has been overwhelmingly incredible and we can’t thank each and every one of you enough.

“This massive amount of support has provided relief and comfort to us all, with one less barrier in not only getting Annie home, but giving her the absolute best send off that she deserves too – and if you knew her, you’ll know that she will be watching over us and making sure it is the best.”
