The mother of a young Australian model killed in a motorcycle accident in Thailand has paid tribute to her “special Angel”, saying “only the good die young”.
Lana Helen O’Connell, 23, from the Gold Coast, was riding on a motorcycle with her boyfriend Ken Trivett, 32, when they clipped another bike selling food in a sidecar, outside the Lamsing Hi-So nightclub in Phuket on Saturday, February 25 about 3.30am, the Phuket Gazette and the Gold Coast Bulletin reported.
Their bike then swerved across the road and crashed head-on into a third motorcycle, the reports said.

Ms O’Connell, a swimsuit model who reportedly studied at Griffith University, died from her injuries. Mr Trivett was treated at Vachira Phuket Hospital for head injuries, the Gazette said, adding that the rider on the third motorcycle, Siriwat Phatkor, was treated at Phuket International Hospital for minor injuries.
Ms O’Connell was reportedly not wearing a helmet and alcohol may have been a factor, the Bulletin reported, citing Thai authorities.
Her mother, Marilyn, wrote on Facebook that her family was absolutely devastated and “words cannot explain our feelings at this sad time”.
