A 42-year-old Sydney mother and New Zealand expat Cindy Low has been named as the fourth fatality in the Dreamword accident.
The mum was at the Gold Coast theme park with her son, Kieran, 10, daughter, 6, and husband Matthew. Reports claim it was a last-minute decision to separate from her husband and daughter on the River Rapids ride and join another raft with her son.
Fairfax Media reports that she died on the ride’s wooden conveyor belt when her group’s inflatable raft crashed into another raft, flipping and killing four of the six people inside.
Kieran saw the entire event and was being comforted by his father on Wednesday.
He was thrown from the raft alongside the 12-year-old daughter of another ride victim, Canberra mother Kate Goodchild, 32.
Police have today said that the fact these two children survived is a “miracle”.
It’s not believed that the Low family knew the three Canberra holidaymakers who were also killed.
