Father mourns daughter, 19, killed in crash: 'We tried to persuade her not to drive'

The father of Anastasija Giedrius Kaukas, a 19-year-old woman who died in a car accident, has shared a poignant message on social media, reflecting on his daughter's life and the circumstances surrounding her death.

He emphasized that Anastasija was a "good and careful driver" who always avoided risky situations. He stated that the road where the accident occurred was straight and visible, making it impossible not to notice an oncoming large vehicle. "Unfortunately, we will probably never know exactly what happened," he wrote, mentioning that the car's dashcam had a broken memory card, leaving the recovery of footage uncertain.

The father recounted Anastasija's desire for independence, noting she worked at a gas station, including night shifts, immediately after finishing school before starting her studies. On the day of the accident, she had worked a night shift and had little sleep. He revealed that the family had tried to dissuade her from driving herself, but she insisted, stating she couldn't sleep during the day. "And she fell asleep forever..." he lamented.

He also shared tender memories of her childhood, her love for the color pink, and her unique name, Anastasija, meaning "resurrected" in Greek. He described her as determined and independent from birth, a "duck mother" who collected duck figurines. He spoke of her quiet nature, her deep friendship in elementary school, and her later discovery of close friends in middle school. The family had planned to raise ducks together when they had more time, a plan that will now remain unfulfilled.
