Family shattered as young mother and grandmother killed in horror crash with Porsche in Melbourne
A father has been left to raise his two young children alone after his wife and mother were killed in a devastating crash in Melbourne ’s west.
Neha Bommali, 33, and her mother-in-law Rama Devi, 67, were travelling in the family’s Toyota Corolla when it collided with a Porsche at the intersection of Boardwalk Blvd and Innisfail Dr in Point Cook about 9.40pm on Wednesday.
Bommali’s husband, Varun Gunna, has now spoken of the unimaginable loss suffered by his family.
“In one devastating moment, I lost the love of my life and my mother,” Gunna, wrote in a GoFundMe .
“Most heartbreaking of all, my two innocent children lost their mother and grandmother.”
Bommali leaves behind the couple’s three-and-a-half-year-old son Haarav and one-year-old daughter Vivanvi.
Gunna described Bommali as “the light and energy” of their home and said the family had only recently celebrated their daughter’s first birthday.
“Kind-hearted, vibrant, and passionate about dance, she filled our lives with so much joy,” he wrote.
“Just recently, our community gathered to celebrate our daughter Vivanvi’s 1st birthday — a beautiful day where Neha danced, laughed, and celebrated surrounded by everyone she loved.”
Devi had recently travelled from India to Australia on a tourist visa to spend time with her grandchildren.
“My mother traveled across the world out of pure love for us,” he said.
He is now facing the prospect of raising his two children as a single father while also supporting his 75-year-old father through the loss of his wife.
Gunna has now pleaded for support from the community, saying he “cannot carry this heavy financial and logistical burden alone”.
Money raised through the fundraiser will help repatriate Bommali and Devi to India, where the family hopes to hold Hindu cremation rituals and traditional funeral rites surrounded by loved ones.
