Child killed in horrific crash near Shepparton

The five-year-old girl tragically killed in a Shepparton crash on Friday has been remembered as an “angel” and a “beautiful daughter and sister”.

Savannah was killed when three cars collided at the intersection of Old Dookie Rd and Boundary Rd at about 2pm.

The local community has already raised more than $19,000 to support her mother Bryana Kemp and three older brothers on GoFundMe.

Ellesha Ellis, who is organising online meals for the local family, wrote that Savannah was a “beautiful daughter and sister”.

“May you rest in peace beautiful girl, heaven gained an angel far too soon,” she wrote.

“What an amazing community of people that have gathered to hold the Kemp Family as they grieve the unexpected loss of their beautiful Angel.”

Tributes flowed on social media, where a local dance studio shared a photo of the smiling dancer in a tiara and yellow tutu.

“Keep on dancing little Angel,” they wrote.

Guthrie Street Primary said its school community was heartbroken to hear of little Savannah’s death.

Savannah was the younger sister of Layton, Cayden and Ryley, and due to join her brothers at the school in 2024, it posted online.

“Please support her family through this tragic time,” it said.

A GoFundMe has been set up for Savannah’s family.

Four people were hospitalised after the horror crash.

A woman thought to be in her 30s was flown to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

A second woman, believed to be in her 20s, suffered lower body injuries and was flown to The Alfred in a stable condition.

Two other adults were taken to Goulburn Valley Health for observation.

A local who lives about 300m from the crash site said the intersection was “bad”. “When you’re coming up Boundary Rd, you can’t see to the right of the intersection (Old Dookie Rd),” they said.

Detectives from the Major Collision Investigation Unit are investigating the circumstances.
