Online tributes were posted in memory of Beazley - remembering her as a “precious soul” and expressing grief at her early passing.

“Be at peace in the arms of the father our beautiful shining light,” one person wrote in a post with photos of Beazley.

Another wrote, “Words can’t explain how hurt I am, I love you always and forever”.

“Gonna miss you my cousin we love you always rest easy beautiful kisses to the sky for us until then we will meet again,” another wrote.

Beazley’s death adds to a growing list of vehicle occupants killed in fatal crashes in Canterbury this year with the toll reaching concerningly high levels.

Other teens killed in Canterbury crashes this year include Nekera Eileen Low, 18, who died in August after taking a corner too quickly - her young passengers received serious injuries.

Then the following month, another 18-year-old - Zara Mitchell - was killed whilst riding in a car that crashed into the side of a house in north Canterbury.

Mitchell was allegedly being driven by another teenager who faces a manslaughter charge for the accident.

Other fatal accident victims in Canterbury this year include a senior legal executive at Canterbury Legal, two children travelling with their father to Mt Hutt and a husband and wife who’d only recently moved to the South Island.
