A tourist has died in hospital following a horror crash near a remote town in South Australia’s southeast.
Armitha Safitri, 30, moved to Australia last year from Indonesia on a working holiday visa.
She had been living in Renmark, in the state’ north but had plans to move to Sydney.
However, while driving to Adelaide on Friday, she was involved in a horror crash near Wynarka.
Emergency services were called at 8.20am after Ms Safitri’s Hyundai sedan collided with a Nissan ute on the Karoonda Highway between Wynarka and Chapman Bore.
She was flown to Flinders Medical Centre in a critical condition but died on Tuesday night.
The driver of the ute, a 63-year-old Karoonda man, was taken to Murray Bridge Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Ms Safitri’s family had been warned by doctors to expect the worst, according to 9News.
“The doctor said that 90 per cent of her internal organs are not functioning normally, most likely she cannot survive any longer,” her brother Robby Yahya said.
Community groups are now working together to raise funds to have Ms Safitri’s body repatriated to Indonesia.
“Thank God Mitha’s friends and Indonesian immigrants there tried to bring Mitha home to Indonesia,” her brother told 9 News.
The 30-year-old has been living and working in Renmark, a town in the state’s rural Riverland area near the Victorian border.
Her death is the 66th life lost on South Australia’s roads so far this year, up from 40 at the same time last year.
