A ‘unique and beautiful’ teenage girl was killed by a driver who crashed a stolen car while drunk and high on cocaine and cannabis. Xana Doyle, 19, was a passenger in the Toyota Avensis, which flipped and landed on its roof in an accident in the early hours of the morning. Driver Sakhawat Ali, 23, was more than twice the drink-drive limit and had been taking class A and B drugs before getting behind the wheel. Xana Doyle (pictured) was killed after driver Sakhawat Ali crashed a stolen car while high on drugs . The Toyota Avensis flipped and landed on its roof after the crash in the early hours of the morning in January . A court heard he was driving at ‘excessive speed’ in the moments before the crash, which did not involve any other vehicle. Miss Doyle, who suffered a ‘blunt head injury’, was pronounced dead at the scene in Newport, South Wales. Ali admitted causing death by dangerous driving and aggravated vehicle taking when he appeared at Cardiff Crown Court yesterday. Judge Neil Bidder QC told the court: ‘The driver was well over twice the drink-drive limit and it is accepted there was excessive speed.’ The judge said he wanted more information on how much cocaine and cannabis the driver had taken on the night of the smash before sentencing. Ali, of Newport, was remanded in custody ahead of a hearing in July. Sakhawat Ali (pictured right) admitted causing death by dangerous driving and aggravated vehicle taking . The driver’s cousin, Shabaz Ali, 21, admitted allowing himself to be carried in a stolen car following the smash in January this year. The July hearing will decide whether he ‘contributed’ to the accident by pulling the handbrake from the back seat. Floral tributes were left at the scene of the accident and hundreds of people attended the funeral of Miss Doyle, a former Duffryn High School student, in January. In a tribute, her mother Emma O’Donoghue wrote that Xana was an ‘unusual name for a unique and beautiful girl’. Before the crash, Miss Doyle, from Newport, had recently begun working at Wetherspoons as a cook and was also a trained beautician after completing an apprenticeship. Ms O’Donoghue said yesterday: ‘No sentence will ever give me back my daughter or my children their sister. She is dearly missed and this terribly traumatic experience will remain with us for ever. ‘I am pleased that Sakhawat Ali has pleaded guilty, not that he could dispute any of the evidence presented. Miss Doyle suffered a 'blunt head injury' and was pronounced dead at the scene in Newport, South Wales . Ali was remanded in custody and a hearing in July will determine if his cousin also contributed to the crash . ‘Xana was a beautiful, funny and loving girl and every day is a struggle to live on without her in our lives, we can only hope that justice is served and those responsible are held accountable.’ Paying tribute to Miss Doyle at her funeral, her mother said: ‘You had a smile that would stop this world spinning around. ‘I always knew that you were kind and loving and even through your difficult teenage years you never forgot to tell me how much you loved me and appreciated my support. ‘In the last two years you blossomed into a beautiful young woman, independent and hard-working, making us all so proud of you.’ She added that she had fond memories of her daughter playing and fooling around with her sisters, Lauren and Eve, and her brother Zane. Miss Doyle, whose white coffin was adorned with red roses, gave ‘unquivering friendship and support’ to her friends and family throughout her life, her mother added.
