A woman who died after she was struck by a car while helping an injured kangaroo on the Monaro Highway has been remembered for her joy and warmth.<\/p>\n
Jane Faulder, 60, was hit by a vehicle on the highway about one kilometre south of Bredbo, in the Southern Tablelands of NSW, at 6.30pm on Friday.<\/p>\n
Emergency services rushed to the incident, but she could not be saved by paramedics who treated her at the scene.<\/p>\n
Residents of Bredbo, where Ms Faulder lived, said she was trying to move the roo to stop a crash when she was hit by a car.<\/p>\n
A 54-year-old motorist was uninjured.<\/p>\n
An investigation into the crash is ongoing. <\/p>\n
Ms Faulder was a former public servant and a callisthenics athlete.<\/p>\n
An Australian Calsthenics Federation spokesman said Ms Faulder was a much-loved and valued member of their community.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane had just celebrated her 50th competitive year in callisthenics, a remarkable milestone that speaks to a lifelong love of our sport,\u201d a social media post stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer passion was infectious \u2013 as was her laugh \u2013 and she brought joy, friendship, warmth and a true sense of community to everyone who knew her.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane was everyone\u2019s champion. She was the first to lift others up, cheering on competitors from every club and celebrating their successes.<\/p>\n
\u201cAway from callisthenics, Jane\u2019s other great love was her animals. She worked tirelessly in foster and rescue work, giving countless animals the care and second chance they deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Faulder was a life member of CaliACT, served on callisthenics committees and worked as a volunteer writer for the sport.<\/p>\n
She was also a member of the Queanbeyan Players, which said they were devastated to hear of Ms Faulder\u2019s passing last week.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane was a part of the Queanbeyan Players family and was seen on stage over the last decade as an enthusiastic and much loved member of the companies of Guys and Dolls, South Pacific and The Sound of Music,\u201d a statement read.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur thoughts go out to her family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
A police spokesman said a driver, 54, was uninjured and taken to hospital for mandatory testing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn investigation into the circumstances of the crash has commenced,\u201d a spokesman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cA report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman who died after she was struck by a car while helping an injured kangaroo on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910050,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[478122,478113,393879,189040,92590,385615,478107,377677,478106,392670,455448,478090,478124,478118,478096,378724,478111,378194,410843,478110,397470,377586,390571,376769,478109,377894,478126,376610,478120,478093,478099,478108,380545,64,63,478092,478129,361086,478097,5214,265502,478102,413860,478116,478119,9368,478095,478101,469640,435955,478104,478123,478098,4082,101265,5315,275125,478100,28825,13307,478094,478127,478121,136,44,187436,2733,437998,432525,9497,478114,341367,145931,47867,478125,395845,431179,409195,379331,382541,392387,377724,193611,410792,478103,478117,478091,478112,478128,397432,478089,478105,378889,478115,100098,186436,16642],"class_list":["post-910049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-s-champion","tag-s-other-great-love","tag-s-passing","tag-189040","tag-92590","tag-6-30pm","tag-a-callisthenics-athlete-an-australian-calsthenics-federation-spokesman","tag-a-car","tag-a-car-a-54-year-old-motorist","tag-a-crash","tag-a-driver","tag-a-former-public-servant","tag-a-life-member","tag-a-lifelong-love","tag-a-major-highway","tag-a-member","tag-a-much-loved-and-valued-member","tag-a-part","tag-a-police-spokesman","tag-a-remarkable-milestone","tag-a-report","tag-a-social-media-post","tag-a-spokesman","tag-a-statement","tag-a-true-sense","tag-a-vehicle","tag-a-volunteer-writer","tag-a-woman","tag-about-one-kilometre","tag-an-enthusiastic-and-much-loved-member","tag-an-injured-kangaroo","tag-an-injured-roo","tag-an-investigation","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bredbo","tag-caliact","tag-callisthenics","tag-callisthenics-committees","tag-community","tag-competitors","tag-countless-animals","tag-every-club","tag-foster-and-rescue-work","tag-friday-emergency-services","tag-friendship","tag-guys-and-dolls","tag-her-50th-competitive-year","tag-her-animals","tag-her-family-and-friends","tag-her-joy-and-warmth","tag-her-laugh","tag-her-passion","tag-hospital","tag-infectious","tag-investigation","tag-jane","tag-jane-faulder","tag-joy","tag-last-week","tag-major-hwy","tag-mandatory-testing","tag-ms-faulder","tag-music","tag-news","tag-newswire-news","tag-nsw","tag-our-sport","tag-our-thoughts","tag-paramedics","tag-roo","tag-second-chance","tag-south-pacific","tag-stage","tag-the-care-and","tag-the-circumstances","tag-the-companies","tag-the-coroner","tag-the-crash","tag-the-first","tag-the-highway","tag-the-incident","tag-the-information","tag-the-last-decade","tag-the-monaro-highway","tag-the-queanbeyan-players","tag-the-queanbeyan-players-family","tag-the-roo","tag-the-scene-residents","tag-the-sound","tag-the-southern-tablelands","tag-the-sport-she","tag-their-community","tag-their-successes","tag-tributes","tag-warmth","tag-woman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910049\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
