Craig Anthony Whitall named as driver in fatal car crash

Jessica Falkholts remain in a critical condition.

It’s been revealed that a driver in the horror crash that’s left a Home and Away star orphaned and fighting for life was known for previous traffic offences and drug use.

Craig Anthony Whitall, 50, who died in the Boxing Day crash along with Lars Falkholt, his wife Vivian, and their daughter Annabelle, had been jailed for driving while disqualified and was driving on P-plates, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The Sydney Morning Herald has also reported that Whitall was driving home from a methadone clinic when the accident occurred on the Princes Highway. 

Jessica, 28, remains in a critical condition after being pulled from the wreck just moments before both vehicles burst into flames. 

Australian stars have paid tribute to up and coming actor, Jessica, who recently had a role on Home and Away.
