British tourist killed after 4×4 overturned
A British backpacker has died after the 4×4 she was travelling in flipped over in Australia during a gap year.
Jade Fox, 22, from Kent, was travelling with friends on Queensland’s Fraser Island during a holiday on the east coast of Australia.
Seven others passengers were also injured, five of which were taken to Gympie Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Two German tourists in the group, the driver and another passenger, were airlifted to Hervey Bay Hospital by RACQ CareFlight Rescue Helicopter.
Police are continuing their investigations into the incident and have said that the vehicle Ms Fox was travelling in ‘was in the process of overtaking another vehicle when it rolled.’
Ms Fox’s four-wheel drive was driving alongside another three cars towards Hook Point on the inland route when the incident occurred.
