A tragic accident claimed the life of Roza Abebwa from Wyndham Vale as she left her grandson’s birthday celebration in Logan, south of Brisbane, on Saturday night. The vehicle she was in was struck head-on by another car.
Authorities are currently investigating the involvement of four teenagers who were in a Ford Falcon ute. It is suspected that they may have attended a hooning event at Logan Reserve before speeding down the wrong side of the road.
The collision occurred when the ute crashed directly into the Ford Focus, in which Roza was a passenger.
Roza’s two-year-old daughter and her 28-year-old niece, who were also in the car, sustained injuries and are currently recovering in the hospital.
The 51-year-old mother of eight, who was also a grandmother to seven, is being fondly remembered by her sons. They describe her as a joyful and kind-hearted person who brought light into the lives of everyone she encountered.
“She had to be one of the best human beings,” son Rashidi Edward said.
“I’m yet to find a person who makes better food than my mum.
Gode Edward said “it’s not fair”.
“She was innocent. She was innocent,” he said.
As Roza’s family prepare to lay her to rest, they’ve set up a fundraising page to help bring her back to Melbourne.
Her sons are also warning thrillseekers of the dangers of the road.
“It just takes one second,” Gode said.
“You may think it’s fun, but there are people out there, things can happen. It’s not fair.”
No charges have been laid.
