A young girl seriously injured in a horrific highway collision that killed her sister while on a road trip to see Taylor Swift in concert remains in a coma.

Freya Pokarier, 10, was airlifted to Westmead Children’s Hospital in Sydney after the SUV she was in with her sister and mother collided with a semi-trailer near Dubbo on February 15 as they were travelling from their Gold Coast home to Melbourne.

Her older sister Mieka, 16, sadly died at the scene while the girls’ mother was rushed to Dubbo Hospital with serious injuries but is now by Freya’s side after she was discharged.

The girls’ godmother, Karleigh Fox, on Friday said there was no progress to announce on Freya’s condition and that she remained in a coma, in a post shared to a GoFundMe page established to help the family in the wake of the tragedy.

‘We don’t have any updates on our darling Freya’s condition for you,’ Ms Fox said.

‘We are just surrendering to this process of continued patience and working through all of the logistical work that comes with staying in a town that is not our own and grieving for Mieka.’

Ms Fox said that Westmead had provided an ‘incredible’ chaplain and social workers to support the family with the girls’ father and older sister also travelling down from the Gold Coast to be by Freya’s bedside.

‘The surgeons and nurses continue to offer second to none care to our girl and we have officially moved into Ronald McDonald House where they provide meals and beautiful quality accommodation and for that we are so grateful.’

‘I cannot rate them highly enough.’

She added that Freya’s school has changed their school bell to play Taylor Swift songs to show their support and thanked other ‘Swifites’ who had sent in pictures of themselves wearing handmade bracelets with the girls’ names.
