An Australian flight attendant has died following a road accident in Nadi, Fiji, according to reports by the Daily Mail in Australia.

The report identified the victim as Lucinta Evans, a Sydney-based crew member with Virgin Australia, who passed away on March 28, just days after celebrating her 28th birthday.

It is understood Ms Evans was involved in a road accident in Nadi. Images shared online showed flowers placed at the roadside where the incident is believed to have occurred.

In a funeral notice, her family described her as “bold, open and full of life”, asking mourners to wear colourful clothing in tribute to her vibrant personality.

Her sister, Gabriana Evans, said in an online post that the family was struggling to come to terms with the loss.

“She was truly full of life, with a light and energy that touched everyone who knew her,” she said requesting privacy as the family grieves.

According to the Daily Mail, a fundraising campaign has also been launched to support her family, with part of the proceeds intended to help improve safety at the location of the accident.

Tributes have continued to pour in from colleagues, particularly among Virgin Australia’s Fijian cabin crew, who described Ms Evans as a cherished member of their aviation family.
