    A woman, and her daughter and her niece were the victims of yesterday's fatal crash in southern Auckland's Waiuku

    A woman, and her daughter and her niece were the victims of yesterday's fatal crash in southern Auckland's Waiuku


    Frances Sesi Latu-Vailea died with her daughter, Oneahi , and niece, Marly Tulua, when their car plunged into a creek.

    Social media posts reveal Latu-Vailea worked as a court registrar in South Auckland.

    She's been described as a doting mum and helpful friend, beloved by colleagues - who loved life and those close to her.

    The girls have been described as bubbly, curious and smiley tots - taken much too soon.
