Just a few months after turning 21, a young British woman was killed in Australia just before she was scheduled to return to her family.
When Annie Evans-Lewis, 21, crashed into a tree while driving ahead of her boyfriend Cai James, 22, she suffered a severe brain injury.
Her doctors think she might have had a seizure while driving.
“My heart is in a thousand pieces,” said a heartbroken Cai, who headed out with Annie to fulfill their dream of traveling.
On May 23, he held Annie’s hand as she died in the hospital.
The couple went on to work on a farm in East Pingelly, close to Perth, after flying 9,200 miles to pursue their dreams of travel.
Angharad, Annie’s mother, is currently fighting to fund £35,000 so that her daughter’s body can be flown back to Llanybri, Carmarthenshire.
“She was a live wire,” Angharad remarked. She enjoyed being outside. She was passionate about life. After visiting New Zealand, she returned home with the desire to travel and broaden her horizons, so they traveled to Australia.
“All I want is for her to return home so we can go out tomorrow.”
According to Angharad, Annie was behind the wheel when she swerved, struck a tree, and died that same day from her wounds.
shortly months after turning 21, a young British woman was killed in Australia shortly before she was scheduled to return home to visit her family.
Annie Evans-Lewis, 21, suffered a devastating brain damage when she crashed into a tree while driving ahead of her boyfriend Cai James (L), 22.Annie, who turned 21 in February, was scheduled to return to Wales for a brief vacation in July, according to Angharad.
She claimed that using Facetime to spend her last moments with her cherished daughter had been somewhat consoling.
Scott Davies, Annie’s cousin and Annie’s “big brother,” arrived to the hospital on time.
“Cai accompanied her to the hospital,” stated Angharad. Scott was holding her hand while Cai lay beside her. We were there because they set us up on Facetime. She was simply so serene and lovely.
Annie, a college mechanical student and animal enthusiast, met Cai “on a tractor” at a friend’s farm.
In order to support Cai, who has been “amazing,” Angharad and aunt Tanya Davies are currently traveling to Australia.
“As far as we know, she collided with a tree,” Tanya stated. She was behind the wheel. They were in different cars, and Cai was two minutes behind her. They had gone out to eat lunch. After dropping Annie off at her car, Cai and a friend drove up behind them.

According to the consultant, she did have a seizure, but she also suffered a catastrophic brain injury and blood loss. Cai was with her when about 45 medical and emergency personnel arrived at the scene. She was brought to the Royal Perth Hospital.
Boyfriend Cai paid tribute by saying that the young pair had discussed growing old together.
“You are the most beautiful lady I’ve ever seen, you were perfect in every single way,” he said. “When you came into my life, I instantly thought you were special, your strong attitude straight away got me addicted.” “We often said we couldn’t wait to grow old together and be grandparents watching our family enjoy what we built together.” I’m at a loss on what to do without you.According to Angharad, Annie, the only child, always loved life to the fullest despite having survived leukemia and a burst kidney as a young child.
Over £31,000 has been raised by the family fundraiser.
“The pain being felt by all who knew her and loved her dearly is indescribable,” the appeal stated in a tribute. “Annie was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin, girlfriend, and friend to many.” She will always be regarded as the most vivacious, crazy, funny, loving, kind, and grounded individual.
Australia’s police are requesting witnesses.
