The family of a "loving" mother from Stoke-on-Trent killed in a collision on the M6 this week have paid tribute to her.

Emergency services were called to the M6 between J21 and J21A northbound at around 12.15am on Tuesday 9 April.

Sadly, 52-year-old Lisa Kelsall, from Norton, had been struck by a white Citroen Relay van on the M62 slip road and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her family said: ""(A) Loving daughter, mother and grandmother to be, taken too soon. RIP Lisa Kelsall. Forever in our hearts."

Emergency services were called to the M6 between J21 and J21A in the early hours of Tuesday morning (Wiki Commons).

The driver of the van, a 47-year-old man from Preston, had failed to stop at the scene and was later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has since been released under investigation.

Officers are now appealing to anyone who may have dashcam footage, witnessed the collision or saw Lisa's car, a white Vauxhall Mokka, traveling northbound on the M6 from Staffordshire toward Cheshire prior to the incident between 11.30pm on Monday 8 April and midnight of Tuesday 9 April, to get in touch.

Anyone with any information is urged report it to Cheshire Police quoting IML-1796179 via the Cheshire Police website or call 101.
