Tangaroa Paki caused a Tauranga crash that killed his best friend, Brayden Tawa.
The young daughter of a man killed by his best mate in a high-speed, drug-fuelled crash says she will never forgive him.
In the six minutes before crashing into a Kenworth truck and killing his friend, Brayden Tawa, Tangaroa Paki sped around the streets of Tauranga, high on cannabis, in a car that should never have been on the road.
Paki ran red lights and crossed a centre line while going around a corner at speed.
