A woman who died in a crash on the Wales-England border "left an imprint on every life" she touched, her devastated family said. Sukhanpreet Kaur was a passenger in a white Ford Transit van when the vehicle was involved in a collision on A534 Barton Road in Barton, Cheshire.

The crash happened at around 5.50am on Saturday, February 14. The van was travelling towards North Wales at the time.[1]

Cheshire Police said Sukhanpreet, 24, of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her family are being supported by specialist officers, said the force in a statement today.

In a statement issued via police, her family said: "Your love was the light that guided us, and your kindness left an imprint on every life you touched. Thank you for the memories that we will cherish forever.

"You are gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

It feels impossible to say goodbye to someone with so much life still left to live.

"Rest in peace. Thank you for the beautiful memories and the light you brought into our lives. You will be deeply missed."

A 27-year-old man and a 21-year-old man, both of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, were arrested following the collision on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

They have since been released on bail.

Officers are continuing to appeal for anyone with information or dashcam footage from around the time of the collision to come forward.

Anyone who may have witnessed the collision is urged to contact Cheshire Police via www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us or call 101 quoting IML-2270726.
