Wongamine crash: Mum Hannah Foster killed and six kids injured after family van collided with truck

A mother of six, who was killed when her family’s van collided with a cement truck in a devastating accident that left her six children fighting for life, is pictured for the first time as her devastated husband pays tribute.

Hannah Louise Foster, 30, was driving her Kia Carnival west on Goomalling-Toodyay Road, in Wongamine, north of Perth, when he collided with the cement truck heading east on the same road at 6:20 a.m. Wednesday.

Ms Fraser sadly died at the scene while her six children, aged between 14 months and 12, were rushed to hospital for treatment.

Four children were flown from the harrowing scene, while two were rushed to Perth by ambulance.

The 58-year-old male driver of the truck suffered minor injuries in the crash and was taken to hospital as a precaution, while a dog also fled.

First responders were ordered to conduct a major rescue operation at the accident site in Wogamine, in the WA wheat belt, which left several people trapped in the vehicle.

Dozens of firefighters tried to free the prisoners, while paramedics worked on Mrs. Foster, who suffered serious injuries in the crash.

Despite frantic efforts to save Maddington’s mother, she sadly died on the spot.

Four of her children were airlifted to Perth’s Children’s Hospital, while the other two traveled by road by ambulance.

Wednesday night, two of the children were in critical condition as their heartbroken father struggled with the loss of his ‘soulmate’.

Leighton Fraser posted an emotional tribute to his late wife Thursday morning, vowing he would raise their six children to the “absolute best” ability.

“To the love of my life,” the Facebook post began.

“I’m sure I got the chance to tell you how much your presence in my life has made me a better man or how much you meant to me.

“I hope that in the years we’ve spent side by side, my actions have told you every day that I love you more than words can describe.”

“The thought of you not being here with me is so unreal.”

Fraser said he knew his wife was “here” and that she “would sit on the throne of God in awe of him, as we had always discussed.”

“So as I look to our future, I promise to raise the children to the best of my ability and I promise to always honor the wonderful person you are,” he wrote.

‘Till I see you again, rest in peace my darling. I will always love and cherish you.

“Gone but never forget.”

The old couple would celebrate eight years of marriage in November.

Fraser’s father, Corey, started a… GoFundMe to raise money for his heartbroken son and their six “beautiful children.”

The campaign has raised more than $20,000 in less than 12 hours, with donors also leaving tributes and words of support for the family.

My love and thoughts are with you! Always here, day and night, no matter what,” one woman wrote.

“Absolutely heartbreaking. Pray for your family,” said another.

Louise Ryan paid tribute to her ‘beautiful’ boyfriend, who she said she did everything ‘a little too early’ and had now met Jesus, also ‘much too early’.

‘A mother of 16, homeschooling all her babies, a leader and a loyal friend. I am devastated for her husband, children, best friends and the community that someone has lost with my life and love,” she wrote.

WA Police have released a statement in lieu of the crash, warning motorists that it is a stark reminder of how lives can be turned upside down in the blink of an eye.

“In addition to the tragic loss of life in this crash, there are six children and the truck driver who have all personally experienced a traumatic event and need ongoing support,” the report said.

‘These kinds of incidents also have consequences for the police officers and other emergency workers who are on the scene and who provide permanent care for those involved.’

Major Crash’s detectives will investigate the circumstances of the crash and anyone with dashcam footage of the collision is asked to contact police.
