A teenage girl killed when two small aluminum boats collided south of Sydney on Australia Day will be remembered as a “beautiful soul” by friends and family.
Paramedics were called to Grays Point boat ramp, about 30km (18.6 miles) south of the Sydney CBD, about 10.30am on Friday following reports of a 16-year-old girl seriously injured in a crash involving two boats.
Bystanders pulled Darcy Davey-Sutherland, 16, from the water before the Toll Ambulance rescue helicopter rushed doctors and critical care paramedics to her aid.
He was taken in a critical condition to St George’s Hospital, where he later died.

Mr Davey-Sutherland said “it was impossible to fathom life without him”.
“She will begin the most special part of her life as she steps into adulthood,” he said.
