    A driver has changed his plea - to admit guilt over a crash that killed two sisters in Christchurch

    A driver has changed his plea - to admit guilt over a crash that killed two sisters in Christchurch


    17-year-old Tayla Alexander and 15-year-old Sunmara suffered critical injuries in the crash on Summit Road almost two years ago.

    A teenage boy was also seriously injured.

    Levi Fiddymont faced counts of dangerous driving causing death and causing injury.

    He had claimed his Subaru WRX's brakes failed coming downhill, but the Crown alleged he was driving too fast.

    The 21-year-old was three days into his trial today - when he changed his pleas to guilty.

    He's been remanded on bail to be sentenced in January.
