Ms Satterley had been in a relationship with 25-year-old Rafferty Rolfe, the sole survivor who has now been charged with a robbery offence.

Friends of Ms Townley have set up a GoFundMe page and paid tribute to the loving fiance and stepmother.

‘Jess was so special and meant so much to them, she was their rock,’ said friend Kelly Goodwin who set up the fundraiser.

‘Jess was hard working and didn’t stop till the sun went down. She would always have a laugh and brightened any day.’

‘I’m so sorry Troy, Montana and TJ. Jess was so beautiful inside and out. We are all thinking about you at school and are here for support,’ said one well wisher.

Another said: ‘You will be missed Jess x love you Troy Montana and Tj’

In a statement, police alleged one of the cars had been ‘chasing a man and woman in another vehicle’ just before 4am on Friday.

Driving northbound, the man ‘attempted to ram’ the victims’ car, causing both vehicles to cross over to the wrong side of the road, Queensland police alleged.

‘A collision occurred between those two cars and a third car which was heading southbound, driven by a 38-year-old woman,’ police said.

Mr Rolfe was pulled from one of the cars and has been charged with one count of robbery with violence while armed.

Police have alleged he stole a woman’s Isuzu MU-X at knifepoint at Gympie on Thursday.

He is due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday.
