She suffered critical injuries and was rushed to hospital, where she underwent several emergency operations before she sadly died surrounded by her family two days later.
Courtney spent several years living in Bali which she regarded as her second home before returning to Melbourne and moved back in with her parents.
Friday’s tragedy struck truck less than two years after she fell down a flight of stairs in Bali in 2023, which resulted in bleeding on the brain.
Her shattered family have broken their silence to pay tribute to a free spirit who never said no to an adventure or opportunity.
Courtney was also a much-loved DJ and played at some of Melbourne’s nightlife hotspots including Metropol, Cushion, Secret Garden, Hotel Barkley and Motel Eve before launching an international career.
“She was beautiful, big-hearted, happy and go lucky,” her mum Diane Mayne told Nine News.
“She lived life to the fullest,” the devastated mum added.
Courtney’s sister Kiani said that her death has been ruled as an accident.
She told the Herald Sun: “It’s just the grief and mourning of a life that’s been lost way too early.”
“The most beautiful thing we have been able to do for the last couple of days is sit and reminisce about the incredible life that she lived and how full her life was.
“She would drive hours and hours just to DJ for one hour.
“She would fly across the country to do the job she loved so passionately and to her it wasn’t a job, it was a life.
“Being behind those decks was her sense of freedom and we got to see her light up rooms.”
