Remembering Jocelyn Grace Mollee: A Gentle Soul Lost Too Soon in Bruce Highway Tragedy — Arrest Made in Connection
Queensland, Australia – April 2025 — The devastating loss of 22-year-old Jocelyn Grace Mollee in a horrific crash on the Bruce Highway has left a community in mourning, a family shattered, and a young life full of promise tragically cut short. Known for her warm spirit, infectious laughter, and work ethic beyond her years, Jocelyn’s death has sparked both a heartfelt tribute and a pursuit of justice.
Jocelyn was killed in a violent collision along the Bruce Highway, a notorious stretch of road that has claimed too many lives. The crash, which occurred under circumstances now the subject of a criminal investigation, has led to the arrest of Bradley Donald Towle, who now faces multiple charges in connection with the incident. Authorities allege reckless behavior played a role in the fatal crash.
A Bright Light Remembered
Jocelyn was much more than a victim of tragedy—she was a beloved daughter, a loyal friend, and a hardworking young woman whose light touched many. Her mother, Amanda Chippendale, spoke through tears as she remembered her daughter:
“She was a beautiful young woman, a gentle soul, and a hard worker. She was going to be a pillar of society. She could make people laugh, even in the darkest times. That’s just who she was.”
Those who knew Jocelyn speak of her vibrant personality, her unwavering kindness, and her determination to carve out a meaningful life. She had dreams—big ones. She was working hard, possibly towards a career in healthcare or community work, always thinking of how she could give back.
“She had the kind of heart that lit up every room she walked into,” said one of her close friends. “Even when life wasn’t easy, she kept going, kept smiling, and somehow made us smile too.”
The Horror on Bruce Highway
The fatal crash occurred earlier this month on a notoriously dangerous section of the Bruce Highway. Initial reports indicate that Jocelyn’s vehicle was struck during a high-speed incident involving another car, allegedly driven by Bradley Donald Towle. Emergency services responded quickly, but Jocelyn tragically died at the scene.
Following an intensive investigation by Queensland Police, Towle was arrested and now faces a slew of serious charges, including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, among others. Police believe speed and possible impairment may have contributed to the crash, although full details have not been released as the case is active.
A Community’s Grief and Outrage
News of Jocelyn’s death has rocked the community. A growing roadside memorial now marks the site of the crash, adorned with flowers, photos, candles, and handwritten notes from grieving friends and strangers alike. An online memorial fund established by Jocelyn’s family to cover funeral costs and create a legacy scholarship in her name has already seen overwhelming support.
There is grief—but also anger.
“This should never have happened,” Amanda Chippendale said. “No family should have to bury their child because of someone else’s reckless choices. We want justice—not just for Jocelyn, but so no other family has to feel this pain.”
Seeking Justice, Preserving Her Legacy
Bradley Donald Towle is now in custody, and court proceedings are underway. Prosecutors have stated they will pursue the case vigorously. Meanwhile, the Mollee family is focused on ensuring that Jocelyn’s memory is preserved in a way that reflects who she was—a young woman full of life, compassion, and promise.
Plans are in motion to establish the Jocelyn Grace Mollee Foundation, aimed at supporting young women pursuing education in community service fields, a reflection of Jocelyn’s own goals. Her family hopes that in some way, her dreams can continue to grow, even after her passing.
A Gentle Goodbye
As the community prepares to say goodbye, a public memorial service is planned, with friends, family, and residents of the wider region expected to attend. It will be a celebration of life—a bittersweet goodbye to a young woman who, in her short time, made a lasting impression.
Jocelyn Grace Mollee’s death has left a void that can never be filled, but her spirit, her kindness, and her ability to make people laugh will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
Rest in peace, Jocelyn. You were loved deeply, and you will never be forgotten.
