Lucinta Evans, a flight attendant for Virgin Australia, tragically lost her life after being struck by a taxi in Nadi on March 28. The taxi collided with another vehicle before careening off the road.
In a poignant Instagram post, Lucinta’s sister, Gabriana Evans, described her as someone who was “truly full of life, with a light and energy that touched everyone who knew her.” She requested privacy for their family as they navigate this profound loss.
Lucinta’s colleague, cabin manager Lissy Hyde, paid her respects with a floral tribute at the accident site. In her heartfelt message, Hyde expressed, “I won’t be able to look after you anymore on our flights or anything about work. I ask you to look after us from above.”

“I won’t be able to look after you anymore on our flights or anything about work. I ask you to look after us from above,” she said.
“Fly with us my girl, beat us to every destination so we know you’re there. You are loved, and we will continue to live life as bright and loud as you.”
Her funeral will be held in Sydney on Monday, April 13.
A Gofundme has been set up to support Lucinta’s family and partner “during this incredibly difficult time”.
“Alongside their grief, they are facing unexpected financial strain after the funeral. This fund is to help ease that burden, giving them the space and time to mourn and heal without added stress,” the Gofundme campaign said.
“A portion of the funds will also be used in Lucinta’s memory — through road safety advocacy or a memorial plaque — with the hope of raising awareness and helping prevent future incidents at this location.”
