Jessica Falkholt (an actress on 'Home and Away', a series we have here in Australia). She, both of her parents and sister were killed in a fiery crash with a car, driven by someone driving under the influence of methadone apparently, which crossed on to the wrong side of the road. This has led to some Members of Parliament promising to try to get a bill passed to make methadone an illegal drug.
