The accident happened in Australia on Friday.
A GoFundMe page has been set up for three Irish women involved in a freak accident in Australia.
Sarah Fitzpatrick, a nurse from Emo, Co. Laois, was travelling in a car with two friends in Melbourne on Friday when a tree fell on the vehicle, killing one of the passengers.
The third woman escaped unharmed, but Sarah requires spinal surgery.
An online fundraiser has been set up to alleviate the financial burden on their families, with over €99,000 of the €100,000 target already raised.
