Lily Galbraith, Emma McLean Death – Two women, identified as Lily Galbraith and Emma McLean, were involved in a tragic Brisbane crash this week. The incident occurred when an Audi, reportedly traveling at around 200km/h, collided with their Mazda 3 in the Legacy Way tunnel on Wednesday afternoon. Bruce Daley, a 56-year-old former police officer, was behind the wheel of the Audi and witnesses stated that he stopped his car at the tunnel entrance before accelerating.
The impact caused the Mazda to collide with a truck, resulting in the truck driver sustaining non-life-threatening injuries. Sadly, Lily Galbraith, a 24-year-old nurse from Darwin, lost her life in the crash. Emma McLean, a 23-year-old from Adelaide, is currently in critical condition at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital after undergoing emergency surgery.
The two friends, who had known each other since school, were on their way to a wedding when the accident occurred. The Nurses and Midwives Memorial Page Australia paid tribute to Lily on social media, offering condolences to her loved ones and colleagues. As Emma fights for her life, her family and friends anxiously await updates on her condition.
The tragic incident has left many mourning, including the bride, groom, and wedding guests affected by the news. The investigation into the crash, which also claimed the life of Mr. Daley, is ongoing, with authorities refraining from commenting on his mental health status at this time.
