Heartbroken family’s plea after mum and daughter tragically killed in Boxing Day crash
The family of a mother and daughter killed in a tragic collision on Boxing Day say they want justice for their lost loved ones. In an emotional tribute to Linda Philips, 72, and Amanda Riley, 49, the family made a plea to bring those responsible for their deaths to be brought to justice. Linda and Amanda sadly lost their lives on December 26 following a collision involving a BMW 4 Series, a MG ZS and a quad bike at the junction of Kitt’s Green Road, and Mackadown Lane, in Shard End, Birmingham.
The touching family tribute reads: “Linda and Amanda, mother and daughter were cruelly taken from us on Boxing Day, 26 December 2023. Linda was a beautiful and dearly loved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, auntie, and so much more. Her husband, children, grandchildren, and family loved Linda very much, and Linda absolutely adored her family.
“Amanda was a beautiful and much-loved mother, daughter, grandmother, sister and auntie. Amanda’s parents, daughters, and grandchildren loved her so much, and Amanda was the apple of her grandchildren’s eye. “The family are devastated, and respectfully ask for privacy at this extremely difficult time.” It concludes: “We ask, if anyone has any information, however small, please come forward, so that the families can get justice for Linda and Amanda.”
