A woman has died after her bicycle was hit by a car in Stoke-on-Trent last week.

Natasha Woolley, from Tunstall, has been described by her family as having a "fiery spirit" with an "infectious laugh".

The 30-year-old died at the Royal Stoke last night (29 September) after her bicycle was hit by a car on Thursday 25 September, before the car then hit a house in Tunstall.

Natasha's family said: "This is a devastating loss. Natie is a deeply loved daughter, sister, granddaughter and auntie. She was also a true friend to all animals - especially cats.

"We will miss her fiery spirit and infectious laugh and are so grateful to her for holding on and giving us the chance to say goodbye.

"We also want to express our heartfelt thanks to the first responders and the staff at Royal Stoke Hospital for their care and compassion. At this difficult time, the family kindly asks for privacy as we grieve."

Natasha's family are being supported by specialist officers, Staffordshire Police said.

The driver of the car, a 20-year-old man from Stoke-on-Trent, was arrested on suspicion of driving offences and has been released under investigation as police enquiries continue.

Anyone with any CCTV or dashcam footage from the area or those with any information which could help collision investigators is asked to get in touch with Staffordshire Police.

You can call 101, quoting incident 580 of 25 September, or message using Live Chat on the website.

You can also get in touch with collision investigators directly by emailing [email protected]
