Grace Hill, 16, was killed alongside her boyfriend's parents Jeremy and Tania Kay when their car collided with another vehicle in Hamilton, New Zealand, in the early hours of Sunday morning, NZ Herald reported.
The car was driven by Mitchell Kay - the lone survivor of the vehicle - when it crashed into a Toyota Prado at the intersection of Mangaharakeke Drive and Avalon Drive.

The driver of the Prado and Mitchell are both recovering in Waikato Hospital.
Grace's mother Hayley Ellwood, who received a knock on the door from police at 4.30am on Sunday, said she was struggling to understand how the cars collided.
'What can you say. The guy is pretty lucky. He gets to walk away and I don't understand how it happened, we drove past there yesterday a couple of times and I just don't understand how it could have happened,' she told the NZ Herald.
'But what he's done to our family and the Kay family... (Mitchell) and his sister are orphans. You just can't get your head around any of that.'
Ms Ellwood said the family, including Grace's two older twin sisters, were struggling to comprehend the loss.

She said her daughter was well looked after by the Kay family and she had been dating Mitchell for about three years after they met through their love of rowing.
The young couple would bus between Auckland and Hamilton to see each other.
Ms Ellwood described her daughter as a determined and strong woman who was hilarious and 'amazing'.
'Amazing grace, that's how she got her name. That's my favourite and that's how she got her name and she lived up to that,' Ms Ellwood.
While Ms Ellwood is unsure how the crash happened, police told her it was not Mitchell's fault.
Police are appealing for sightings of a blue and grey Toyota Prado in the moments before the crash occurred.
Grace was due to turn 17 at the end of the month.

Jeremy Kay, who was killed alongside his wife in the crash, has been remembered by his band Tenfoot Leap.
'Hey there fans. We have some extremely sad news in the Tenfoot camp today,' the band wrote on Facebook.
'A car crash over the weekend claimed the lives of our beloved drummer Mr Jeremy Kay and his wife.
'We hope you all share our extended condolences to the family in the aftermath of this tragedy.
'We love ya Jerm!! Jam well with those who have gone before us and we'll see you again at the great gig in the sky.'
Greg Wells responded to the post and recalled the moment Jerry told him his drumming was 'average at best'.
'But I soon learned that what you lacked in talent you more than made up for in your passion for music and your determination to get better,' Mr Wells wrote.
'Then after my last gig (you) said you had learned a lot from playing alongside me... perhaps one of the greatest compliment(s) I've ever had from another muso.'
'Rock In Peace to you and Tans... thoughts are with your family.'
