Family and friends pay tribute to a Bundaberg teenager who died after a horrific crash in Queensland.
Illiana Palella, 17, was killed on Tuesday after a collision between an armored vehicle and a car near Childers.
She was flown to Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital from the crash site but did not survive her injuries.
A fundraiser has been launched to support her to help the victim’s family.
Her boyfriend, Mackenzie Blackburn, described Ms Palella as a ‘beautiful friend of many’.
“Whether it was her coworkers, friends, or strangers, everyone knew she could put a smile on anyone’s face,” she said.
