Skipper was a forbidden driver when she lost control of a car she was driving on the Hawke's Bay Expressway on January 13, 2016.
Saphire was unrestrained in a child seat at the rear of the car. She was flung from the vehicle after it veered across the centre line into oncoming traffic and collided with the dirt bank of a ditch.
Witnesses described the vehicle suddenly "ricocheting" across the road with no explanation as to why this occurred.
Saphire received significant injuries and died at the scene.
Skipper's 11-year-old sister was in the front passenger seat and received minor injuries.
Blood analysis results confirmed Skipper's blood contained the class A controlled drug, methamphetamine. However, the concentration was unspecified in the summary of facts.
The crash occurred on State Highway 50A between Omahu Rd and Flaxmere Ave just before 5pm. The weather conditions were fine and traffic was moderate.
