On Christmas Day, former Home and Away actress Jessica Falkholt posed next to her parents and younger sister for a family portrait.But less than 24 hours after the loving picture, their family had been destroyed, with a horror Boxing Day car crash killing parents Lars, 69, and Viv, 60, and leaving sisters Jessica and Annabelle fighting for life.Jessica, 28, and Annabelle, 21, were pulled from the firey wreck by heroic witnesses after the tragic head-on collision at Mondayong, on the NSW south coast, on Boxing Day morning.Relatives of the Falkholt's told Daily Mail Australia they spent Christmas Day together with other family at Ulladulla and had sent well-wishing text messages to loved ones.Alongside the text messages the family-of-four sent a photo of them smiling happily arm-in-arm in front of grape vines - unaware it would be their last together.A devastated relative of the family revealed she received a text message from Vivian on Christmas Day and said the Falkholt's were in good spirits.'Vivian texted me saying: "We're having a great day, hope you are too",' their relative said.'I replied saying, "When are you guys coming back?" and she said they were coming back tomorrow (Boxing Day).' Jessica - known for playing 'Hope Morrison' on Home and Away - underwent surgery at St George Hospital on Thursday and is currently in a stable condition, but remains in a coma.'Jessica just came out of a major operation and that went well,' the relative said.'The quick update is the op went better than expected.They were doing something to her bowel, her arm and her lungs, they were the main parts.' The relative said there had been no update to the condition of Annabelle, who is also still in a coma at Liverpool Hospital.Family members are spending time by the bedsides of both girls, neither of who are aware their parents are dead.Relatives of Mr Falkholt are currently travelling to Australia from Sweden, while Mrs Falkholt's family is mostly based in Sydney.'We're a big Italian and Swedish family so all of us are sticking together and going between the two,' a cousin of the girls told Daily Mail Australia.'We don't get many updates we just get to be with them.ICU (staff) are amazing but they have jobs to do and we'd rather they look after the girls then worry about us.' The driver of the other vehicle, a Toyota Prado 4WD, was a known drug user and had been jailed for driving offences.Craig Anthony Whitall, who also died in the horrific crash, was previously jailed for driving while disqualified and driving on P-plates, The Daily Telegraph reports.Mr Whitall was reportedly driving home from a methadone clinic at the time of the tragic accident.Witness told police they saw Mr Whitall's white Toyota Prado cross the centre line of the road twice before it crashed head-on into the Falkholt's Mazda.Mr Whitall had been charged with more than 60 offences by police before his death.Sources told the Daily Telegraph Mr Whitall was 'well known' to police in Ulladulla
