Annabelle Falkholt, the sister of Home and Away star Jessica Falkholt, has died three days after a deadly Boxing Day car accident in New South Wales.

Both of Annabelle’s parents had died in the accident, along with Craig Whitall, who was driving the other vehicle involved.

The Daily Mail reports that Annabelle passed away in the Intensive Care Unit at Liverpool hospital in Sydney on Friday afternoon.

She was pulled from the wreckage of the family car alive, but has not survived her injuries.

They alleged that Mr Whitall had a criminal record and that he had a long criminal history.

The Daily Telegraph reported that witnesses saw Whitall’s white Toyota Prado drift onto the opposite side of the road at least two times before he collided with the Falkholt family’s vehicle.

It is believed that part of the coronial investigation will centre around if Mr Whitall was using drugs at the time of the accident.
