Family of Savannah Spence Paige thank community after fatal Cairns crash
The family of 25-year-old Savannah Spence Paige have thanked the community for support following a fatal road crash in Cairns.

The family of a 25-year-old woman killed in a severe road crash in Cairns this week have expressed their gratitude to the local community for their support during a time of immense grief. According to a wire report, the family of Savannah Spence Paige said they have been left deeply shaken by the tragedy.
In a statement, the family remembered Ms Paige as a vibrant young woman who possessed a smile that lit up every room she entered. They described themselves as being beyond devastated by the sudden loss, which has shocked relatives and friends alike.
At this stage, public details regarding the physical circumstances of the collision remain thin. It is known that the crash occurred in Cairns earlier this week and was described as a horrific incident, but authorities have yet to confirm the exact location, the time of day, or the sequence of events that led to the crash. It is also unconfirmed whether other vehicles were involved or if any other persons required medical treatment at the scene.
The wave of community support has provided some solace to the family as they navigate the immediate aftermath of the tragedy. In their statement, they expressed deep appreciation for the kindness shown by friends, neighbours, and the broader public during this incredibly challenging period.
Police investigations into the exact cause of the fatal crash are expected to continue over the coming days as investigators prepare a report for the coroner.

Every story here is free to read. Only readers keep it that way.
We take no government money, run no paywall, and answer to nobody in Spring Street. That independence is paid for by a small number of readers, not the many who benefit from it. If just one in a hundred of today's readers gave $8 a month, our Victorian politics coverage would be funded for the year.
