Family and friends are paying tribute to an Australian woman who died in a road accident in Fiji as she celebrated her 28th birthday.

Virgin Australia flight attendant Lucinta Evans was struck by a taxi that had hit another vehicle and veered off the road in Nadi on March 28.

In a heartbreaking post on Instagram, her sister Gabriana Evans said Lucinta was “truly full of life, with a light and energy that touched everyone who knew her”.

“Right now, we are all trying to process this loss and ask for some privacy as we grieve together”.

Lucinta’s cabin manager Lissy Hyde posted a floral tribute to her colleague at the site of the crash.

“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.”
