A stuffed Totoro, Krispy Kreme doughnuts and bouquets of flowers have been laid at a growing roadside memorial for a Buckland Park teenager killed in a crash at Waterloo Corner.
The 19-year-old was driving a Lexus car that collided with a concrete-delivery truck at the intersection of Port Wakefield Highway and McEvoy Rd last Tuesday.
Amy is the 69th person to die on South Australian roads this year.
Her boyfriend and friends placed flowers at the site soon after the tragedy and, since then, tributes to the northern suburbs teenager have continued to be added.
The makeshift memorial has grown to several metres, with loved ones also leaving food, drinks, flowers, candles, toys and photographs.
Grieving friends and loved ones have also left touching messages for Amy.
“I will miss you and I’m just so grateful to have been in your life and grateful to have had you as a friend,” wrote one person.
Another wrote: “You’ll always be in my heart. I hope you rest well.”
Adorned with fairy lights, the numerous tributes also include soft drinks, salted caramel cookies, bubble tea, Lego pieces and Rubik’s cubes.
The crash occurred just days after a young father was killed along the same road.
Father of two Max Schoepf, 27, from Elizabeth North, died after his car crashed into a light pole and then a tree.
On Facebook, partner Paige Redman said the loss “feels like a bad dream”.
His loved ones have launched a GoFundMe appeal to cover his funeral costs.
