A woman killed in a car crash in Christchurch on Monday night has been named by police as local woman Jayde Melissa Braxton.
The 29-year-old was involved in a single-car accident on Annex Road, in Middleton, just before midnight. She was the sole occupant of the vehicle.
Ms Braxton was taken to hospital but later died.
In a statement released to the media, Ms Braxton's family said news of her involvement in a crash had been difficult to take - adding that their emotions were still "very raw".
"The visit from Police early in the morning yesterday, telling us Jayde has been seriously injured in a crash, still seems surreal. It's the visit every family dreads but the news got even worse in hospital when you went to sleep for the last time.
