Fateful Message: Teen Sends Chilling Text to Friend Before Tragic Accident Claims Her Life

Several weeks before the holiday season, a father received devastating news that no parent ever wants to hear.

Jason Alexander learned that his oldest daughter Tayla (17) had tragically passed away in an accident, while her younger sister Sunmara (15) was left severely injured.

Both teenage sisters were passengers in a car driven by a 19-year-old, traveling in Port Hills, New Zealand.

Shortly before the fatal crash that led to the car catching fire, Tayla had sent a chilling message to a friend.

“I’m going to die tonight,” read the message, as documented by Stuff.co.uk.

Tayla tragically lost her life in the subsequent crash, while her younger sister Sunmara sustained critical injuries and severe burns, receiving treatment at a hospital in Wellington.

Sunmara passed away on her 16th birthday

Unfortunately, Sunmara, Tayla’s sister, also succumbed to her severe injuries, on her 16th birthday, December 13.

Before the accident, Tayla had also messaged her friend saying, “I’ve never driven so fast through the curves here.”

The girls’ father, Jason, expressed his initial reaction as anger to Stuff.co.nz.

“I can imagine my daughters must have been terrified, but anger never solves anything, and the driver himself was still a child. He had two beautiful girls in his car and wanted to show off.”

“Everything was taken from me”

“I forgive him, he’s just a kid. Being angry and hateful will not change anything. And it will never bring back Tayla and Sunmara.”

“My whole life was taken from me in one night,” expressed the courageous and devoted father.

“I saw my other daughter die before my eyes… I am shattered.”

Jason expressed his hope for measures to be taken to improve road safety.

“Sunmara suffered greatly, but hopefully not in vain. I want the roads to be safer and have guardrails.”

A fundraiser for the family has already raised $24,000.

It is truly heartbreaking that these two beautiful young girls, with their whole lives ahead of them, are no longer with us.
