Rangitoto College student Izzie Toman dies in crash
The family of Auckland schoolgirl Isobel Toman is mourning a teen "absolutely loved by everyone who encountered her", following her death in a car crash.
Police confirmed the 17-year-old, known as Izzie, was killed after two vehicles collided on Old North Rd in Waimauku, northwest of Auckland, about 9.06pm on Wednesday.
In a statement, Izzie's family described her as a "beautiful, gentle, kind, funny, generous, talented, humble, ambitious young lady with a passion for dance and the performing arts".
Rangitoto College principal Patrick Gale said Izzie was a "motivated, enthusiastic and well-respected student" who made a "superb" contribution to the school's culture and performing arts department.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
