Sister of critically injured 'Home and Away' star dies three days after horror car crash

Annabelle Falkholt, the sister of former Home and Away star Jessica Falkholt, has died three days after the car crash which left her fighting for life.

The sisters were travelling back to Sydney with their parents when they were involved in a head-on crash.

Witnesses pulled Jessica, 28, and Annabelle, 21, from the wreckage as the vehicles were engulfed in flames. The girls were taken to hospital in a critical condition.

Their parents died at the scene.

Sadly, Annabelle died in Liverpool Hospital's Intensive Care Unit yesterday afternoon.

Her death comes amid news the other driver involved, Craig Anthony Whitall, was known for previous traffic offences and drug use, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The 50-year-old had been jailed for driving while disqualified and was driving on P plates having only recently got his licence back, the newspaper said.

Network Seven said the Home and Away family are sending their love and support to the actress. 

"Although her time on set was brief, once a part of the Home and Away family, always part of the family," a spokesman said.

Jessica's co-star James Stewart, who plays Justin Morgan, has taken to social media to pay tribute to the actress.

Jessica remains in a critical condition in St George Hospital in the south of Sydney.
