Fiancé’s heartbreaking tribute after tow truck driver Evette Wallington killed in freak accident in Perth

The heartbroken fiancé of a young mother killed in a horrific tow truck incident has revealed how he desperately tried to save her after finding her unresponsive at a Perth towing yard.

Evette Wallington, a 29-year-old tow truck driver, was found by her fiancé and colleague Cameron Christmass at Auto Tow Services in Osborne Park about 5.40am on Tuesday.

Wallington was reportedly trapped while unloading a car from a tilt tray truck at the yard near Sundercombe St and Collingwood St the night before.

Despite efforts from emergency services, the mother-of-three could not be saved.

Christmass said he used his own truck to free his fiancée after finding her before emergency services arrived.

A colleague of the couple recalled hearing Christmass “literally screaming for help” over their work radio that morning.

“From his broken cries, we slowly figured out what went down,” the colleague said.

“Our colleague Evette, who’s also his partner, had an accident at our company’s Osborne Park yard.”

Christmass later shared a heartbreaking tribute to his fiancée, saying words could not describe his pain.

“I tried so hard to save you when I found you this [Tuesday] morning. But unfortunately you had already gained your wings.

“Forever in my heart baby. This isn’t a goodbye but until we meet again my love.”

Christmass has since launched a GoFundMe to support Wallington’s family through what he described as an unimaginably difficult time.

He described her death as a “freak accident” and remembered Wallington as a hardworking woman and devoted mother to her three daughters.

Tributes have poured in for Wallington from devastated family members, friends and colleagues.
