A young girl killed in a crash sent a message to a friend moments earlier saying she feared for her life. 9News
Tayla replied shortly after: "I've never been driven around the Port Hills so fast before."The girls' father, Jason Alexander, told Stuff on Wednesday he was sent messages about 10 minutes after Sunmara was taken off life support."As you can imagine, I was angry at first. I can imagine obviously that my girls were scared, but anger's not going to solve anything and [the driver] still a kid himself.
"I forgive him, he's just young himself. Being angry or bringing hate into it isn't going to change anything, it isn't going to bring Tayla and Sunmara back." Jason Alexander lost both his teenage daughters Tayla, 17, left, and Sunmara, 16, following a crash on Summit Road in Christchurch."My whole life just got ripped out from under me, everything just got taken away from me in one night.Alexander said on social media he hoped action would be taken to change Summit Rd, where the crash happened.
"Sunmara suffered so much, but hopefully not in vain. I would love to see that road sorted and more barriers up." Hundreds gathered to farewell Tayla at her funeral at the Hampstead Rugby Club rooms in Ashburton last Thursday
