Jason Francis was hit by a car, reportedly driven by a pizza delivery worker, near the home he shared with his partner Alice Robinson in Perth.

Following his death, Ms Robinson, who was said to have been left “heartbroken”, was found dead.

More than 30,000 Australian dollars (£16,000) has been raised for the bereaved families of the couple, believed to be from Market Drayton, Shropshire, since a fundraising page was set up on Christmas Eve.

Mr Francis had been on a day out with some other friends from the rugby club who organised a taxi home for him on Saturday evening.

The 29-year-old was on the carriageway in the beachside suburb of Scarborough when he was hit by a white VW Jetta, driven by an 18-year-old man, Western Australia Police said.

Sam Diamond, president of Cottelsoe rugby club, which Mr Francis had joined at the beginning of the year after moving to the area, said he understood Ms Robinson had gone outside to investigate when she saw the flashing emergency lights.

He said: “She was told by first responders that it was Jason they were working on.”

He said she had been left “heartbroken” by her partner’s death, which was confirmed at Royal Perth Hospital.

He said: “We don’t know what happened to her after this. I know the police have launched an inquiry into it. She has gone missing after notifying some of our friends of what’s happened (to Mr Francis) and hasn’t been found until the next morning.”

A police spokesman said: “Police will investigate this matter and prepare a report for the coroner, which will include the full circumstances leading to the woman’s death.”

i am very grateful for my family. i called my mother and asked if maybe somehow she would like to come over with my grandma and spend Christmas here. she said she’s not lugging her old mother through the cold just because i want to stay home for Christmas. and i agree with her. maybe that was a selfish idea. my mother and my grandma (and my bf) are the only people i want to be with for Christmas. if i go spend Christmas with the family, i have to battle all the annoying gossip and the loud children tugging at me because they still see me as a child and not the grown woman i am now. i don’t feel like having to explain myself over and over to my family members when they are trying to pick my brain and drain all of my personal business out. i love my family but they are loud. all i want to do is light some candles, watch Christmas movies, and be to myself this year. is that so wrong? my family is going to be so upset with me and i know some people don’t have families to go home to for the holiday and i might be taking it for granted but this time, i really do not have it in me to go home for two days and deal with the family drama. what should i do?

Lights are my absolute favorite part about the holiday season. I love seeing everything all lit up and the light shows. If I had to choose between traditional white lights and the colorful ones, I think I'd choose colorful just because I love all things colorful. But the traditional white lights so beautiful in the trees and such.
