Following the disastrous accident, Savage battled for his life in critical condition for four consecutive days at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. Unfortunately, his fight ended on Tuesday when he succumbed to his injuries.

Savage’s demise sent shockwaves through his family and friends, who quickly took to social media to express their grief and pay their respects.

The tight-knit community is mourning the loss of Mr Savage, a friend remembered him as a loving family man who will be missed by his many heartbroken friends. He expressed their collective sentiments, “Our thoughts are with Shane Savage’s loved ones as they mourn a life taken prematurely by this tragic accident.”

Paramount Automotive & Performance, a business based in Toowoomba that had close ties with Mr Savage, issued a heartfelt tribute on social media. They fondly recalled his affable spirit, always quick with a jovial greeting – “Luv ya guts!” His cheerful disposition will be remembered.

Shane Savage’s partner, Tara Lee Murphy, expressed her gratitude towards the community for their outpouring support and messages during this difficult time.

In an update regarding the accident, Powercruise Promotions acknowledged the swift medical and fire response immediately after the accident. Despite the tragic incident, they announced the continuity of Powercruise #93 at Queensland Raceway.

The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fatality is ongoing with the Forensic Crash Unit and Workplace Health and Safety.

This incident is the second of its kind this year, with an eerily similar occurrence in January claiming the life of professional drag racer Sam Fenech, when he tragically crashed into a camera tower. His untimely death came at the scene, and two other individuals, including a camera operator sustained severe injuries.
