Floral tributes have been laid and a fundraiser started in memory of a mum and her five-year-old daughter who tragically died in a car crash in Plymouth. A GoFundMe page has been created for the pair who sadly lost their lives after the crash in St Budeaux yesterday (march 24).
Emergency services, including police and two air ambulances, rushed to Victoria Road at around 9.45am. Two pedestrians were taken to hospital where they later died.
A 74-year-old woman from Plymouth has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and of driving while unfit through drink or drugs. Police are still investigating the crash and asking for any information.
