Tributes have been paid to a "loving daughter" who died after being struck by a car in Bury.

At around 9.30pm on Wednesday, October 2, police were called after a pedestrian, who was crossing Manchester Road, was struck by a car.

After being taken to hospital, the pedestrian, Amy McNicholas, 30, died from her injuries five days later on Monday, October 7.

The driver of the car, a woman in her 50s, stopped and was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by driving without due care and attention.

She has been released on bail.

In a tribute, Amy's family said: “We are heartbroken at the loss of our loving daughter Amy who tragically passed away so unexpectedly.

"She was the kindest soul and a pleasure to always be around, our family will have a part missing now she is gone.

"She was caring to everyone she knew and always had a smile on her face. Amy will be forever loved and missed by all that knew her.”

The family have asked for privacy during this difficult time.
