The aunt of a 21-year-old killed in a horror crash on Fatality Free Friday has revealed how their lives were irrevocably altered by her niece's death.
Emily Barnett was driving to Gladstone to pick up her mail with a friend when a truck collided with her RAV4 on the Bruce Highway on May 29 last year.
In a tragic twist her uncle Leyland Barnett - a well-known driving instructor in Rockhampton who had taught Emily to drive - had shared a post to his Facebook page that morning with the words: "Let's make it a Fatality Free Friday".
The family are now bracing themselves for the one-year anniversary of Emily's death, which aunt Davina Barnett said brings back painful memories of the day she was told her niece had died.
