"Love my life. Just saying," she posted. 11 days later she was dead.

A life was taken over the weekend.

Ended too soon in a tragic car accident on Fraser Island.

22-year old British backpacker Jade Fox, from Maidstone, Kent in the UK had been travelling through Australia for three months.

It was her gap year. A dream trip. Filled with friends and laughter, with travels, experiences and memories. She was just at the beginning of her life.

But sadly Jade Fox did not survive Friday afternoon’s car accident.

It is believed that the four-wheel drive she was in overturned when it attempted to overtake another vehicle on a gravel road close to the island’s Hook Point ferry terminal.

The Courier Mail reports that she was not wearing a seatbelt and hit her head when the accident happened.

The vehicle that Jade was in was part of a convoy of three 4WDs on a tour operated by the Rainbow Beach Adventure Company.

It was the RACQ Careflight’s fourth trip to Fraser Island in a month.

According to The Courier Mail it is the first death on Fraser Island since regulations were brought in making it mandatory for backpackers to travel with tag-along tours.

Convoys of about three or four cars driven by backpackers must follow a lead car operated by an experienced tour guide.

Fraser Island first aid respondent David Anderson told News Limited that he had attempted to resuscitate her but it was too late.

“Two companions of the girl who died were visibly upset,” he said “They had six months to go on their Australian trip and they were saying they wanted to go home. They were just too upset to go on anymore.”

Seven others passengers were also injured, five were taken to Gympie Hospital.

On the morning before the crash, Jade Fox wrote on her Facebook page: “Up early doors to travel Frazer Island for three days.”

She is described as being full of life. Adventurous. Bubbly.

“Love my life. Just saying” she posted just 11 days before her death.

Tributes have poured in via social media for the young woman as her family and friends struggle to comprehend her death.

“I love you my beautiful sister – feeling devastated.” Wrote her sister.

Our thoughts are with her family and friends both here in Australia and in the UK.
