Somehow, she is still alive.
Victoria – a 26-year-old mum to two children – suffered life-changing critical injuries in a brutal and horrendous act of male-perpetrated domestic violence on the weekend.
NSW Police had to taser her partner after he refused to stop the car when they tried to pull him over at Coonamble, NSW, on the weekend.

In the car were Victoria and her four-year-old and 18-month-old children. Police found Victoria suffering significant injuries.
If it wasn’t for the swift action of police and paramedics, Victoria would likely have died. She suffered over 20 machete stab wounds, three broken ribs, a punctured lung, facial injuries and suspected nerve damage. Right now she is in hospital, holding onto life as her family holds vigil by her side.
Her injuries are life-altering and she will never fully recover from them. The psychological impact of his abuse is also unmeasurable. Her family has set up a GoFundMe to ensure she has some money to help her and her children navigate the many months – if not years – of recovery.
“The emotional toll of what she has endured will take immense time, care, and support to heal,” Katherine and Ellie wrote on the GFM.
“Victoria is expected to undergo multiple surgeries as part of her recovery, followed by ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and trauma support.
“Victoria is a devoted single mother to her two beautiful children who absolutely adore her. In an instant, their world has been turned upside down. Right now, their family is focused on ensuring they are safe, supported, and surrounded by love as they navigate this unimaginable time.”
He is charged with police pursuit – not stop – drive at speed, police pursuit – not stop – drive recklessly, and wound person intend to cause grievous bodily harm.
The GoFundMe will help cover: • Medical and recovery-related expenses; Emergency accommodation and daily living costs; Ongoing care and support for her children; Relocation costs to move her children to a safer environment; and Legal and safety needs as they move forward.
