Fatal Denmark crash devastates WA family THE family of three West Australian children killed in a horrific car crash in Denmark say they are devastated by their loss. Maria O'Shea and four-and-a-half month old baby boy Torben survived the high-speed accident close to the town of Lendum, about 470km north of Copenhagen, just before 10am local time on Tuesday. But it claimed the lives of her two sons Connor and Soren, aged three and 11, and daughter Saoirse, 9. Their father Brian was not in the car at the time, and had been with his father-in-law, whom the family of six had travelled to visit. On Friday, the family described Soren as a handsome, thoughtful and caring boy who always wanted to please. They said Saoirse was beautiful, creative and charming while Connor was "our wonderful precocious rascal." "These were individuals that were our joy and our life," the family said in a statement. They will forever be missed by us and all of those that they have touched in their short lives. We could not be more proud and honoured to have had the time that we have had with them. The statement said thoughts and prayers for the family had come from all around the world. Mrs O'Shea moved from Denmark several years ago to the town of Pemberton in WA's southwest after she married Australian Brian O'Shea. News of the tragedy sent shockwaves through the small, close-knit logging town, where the O'Sheas are believed to have lived for about 10 years. Mrs O'Shea, a doctor, reportedly worked at Manjimup Medical Centre until the birth of Torben, while her husband is employed at a wood-heating and wood fuel business in Manjimup.
