An mother-of-two has tragically died after being hit by a truck at a pedestrian crossing.
Tammy Carter, 45, was struck crossing Grand Junction Road in Wingfield, Adelaide, on March 22 about at 3:30am.
Ms Carter, who was from Kilburn, was rushed to Royal Adelaide Hospital with life threatening injuries but later died on March 26.
Her identity was revealed for the first time on Wednesday by a family friend who remembered Ms Carter as a 'cherished partner and treasured family member'.
Alex Vanrenen, who used to work with Ms Carter at Liaise Marketing, has since started a GoFundMe to support her partner and children.

The mother-of-two has been remembered by family and colleagues as a 'vibrant spirit'
Mr Vanrenen remembered his former colleague as a 'vibrant spirit'.
'Tammy leaves behind a loving partner and two young children who are now facing the immense challenge of navigating life without her,' Mr Vanrenen wrote.
'In memory of Tammy's vibrant spirit and unwavering love for her family, myself and the team at Liaise Marketing are coming together to raise funds to support her family during this incredibly difficult time.
'As we mourn the loss of Tammy, let us also rally around her family with love, compassion, and support.'
All money raised will cover the costs of Ms Carter's funeral service and provide her family financial assistance as they cope with her loss, Mr Vanrenen said.
The incident is still under investigation and no charges have thus far been against the truck driver.
Ms Carter's death was the 20th on South Australian roads this year.
