Devastated friends and family have given emotional tributes to a young woman who was killed in a tragic car crash south of Brisbane, while her sister — a young mother — fights for her life in hospital.
Taneil Harris, 21, was one of two people who died in the single vehicle crash on Mollenhagen Rd near Pepperina Drive, Stockleigh about midday yesterday (June 22).
She was believed to be the driver.
A 15-year-old female passenger, who was Ms Harris’ cousin, also died at the scene.
The two other passengers included Ms Harris’ brother, who is believed to be under 18 and is in a stable condition in hospital with leg injuries.
Ms Harris’ sister, Krystal Harris, is fighting for her life with serious head injuries and underwent surgery today.
Queensland Police confirmed all four people in the car were from the Stockleigh area.
It is understood Krystal is the mother to baby Paysley Mae who is nearly one year old.
Police have confirmed Krystal suffered life threatening injuries in the crash and is in hospital fighting for her life.
She was due to undergo surgery sometime today to address bleeding on her brain and other serious head injuries.
A family friend said Krystal was an amazing mother and loved by many.
They said she was a quiet person and a single mum.
They also shared more about Taneil following her death.
“She was a great person, best friend, everything,” they said.
“Four wheel driving was another one of her hobbies, camping and tubing. But dirt bike riding and four wheel driving were her main ones.
