'Comatose' teenage girl failed by adults, coroner findsSUPPLIED Rangimaria White was killed by a hit-and-run driver in July 2015. After hitting her, the driver slowed, but then drove off, according to Awhina Herewini, who witnessed the incident. Awhina, who was 13 at the time, had tried to drag her comatose friend out of the road, but had failed. In his findings, Coroner Michael Robb said the driver would have been aware of hitting something and it was inexcusable not to stop. "Rangimaria and her family were failed that night."
