Young woman on working holiday dies after horror crash

A woman critically injured in a crash in South Australia last week has died in hospital.

Armitha Safitri had been on a dream working holiday in Australia thousands of kilometres from her home in Indonesia when she was involved in a horror crash near Wynarka on Friday.

The 30-year-old succumbed to injuries last night.

Doctors had told her family in Indonesia the worst was coming.

"The doctor said that 90 per cent of her internal organs are not functioning normally, most likely she can not survive any longer," her brother Robby Yahya said.

Armitha arrived in Australia last year and was living and working in the suburb Renmark in the state's Riverland area.

She was driving to Adelaide about to move to Sydney when she was struck by a ute as she tried to perform a U-turn on the Karoonda Highway.

Her friends have described her as the kindest person they know.

"I don't know what to say… it's really heartbreaking," friend Izzy Fierza said.

"She's very talkative, she's funny and you know, always have good jokes."

The local Indonesian community is now raising funds to help Armitha's family take her home.

"Thank God Mitha's friends and Indonesian immigrants there tried to bring Mitha home to Indonesia," her brother said.

Armitha's life is now the 66th to be lost on SA roads this year, compared to 40 this time last year.
