The family of a Corby teenager killed in a car crash are paying tribute to her.
Hallie Colquhoun died following a crash on Watford Road in West Haddon last year.
18-year-old Hallie was killed when her FIAT 500 collided with another vehicle.
It happened on the evening of September 15th last year.
At Northampton Guildhall, Senior Coroner for Northamptonshire, Mrs Anne Pember, recorded a verdict of accidental death after hearing evidence that the road surface had become slippery due to heavy rainfall following a prolonged dry spell, causing the 18-year-old to lose control of her car.
Via Northamptonshire Police, Gary and Emma Colquhoun said it was a privilege to have been Hallie’s parents and expressed their sincere thanks to those who supported her at the scene.
They said: “Hallie was the most beautiful girl inside and out, with the kindest heart. It is clear to see from the reaction of people to Hallie’s passing that she made such an impact on anyone fortunate enough to know or meet her.
“Family was everything to Hallie. She cared so much about everyone else’s feelings and would go out of her way to make sure that people felt comfortable and included. She had a unique way of making sure everyone she met felt special.
“She was the most selfless, generous person. Hallie’s smile lit up a room and her infectious laugh would brighten our day. We spent most of our time together laughing and messing around and never took life too seriously. Hallie’s zest for life was amazing to see, as was her passion to right the wrongs in this world.
“We welcome the findings of the coroner and would like to take this opportunity to again send our heartfelt thanks to everyone who tried to save our baby girl. The ambulance crew has stayed in our thoughts ever since and we will forever be grateful for what they did for us and Hallie.
“To every single person who was at the scene, we cannot thank you enough for what you did for Hallie. Knowing that she was not alone and the care you gave her meant everything to us as a family. You all are truly special people, and it couldn’t be any more fitting to know that our special girl was cared for by incredibly special human beings.
“Lastly the overwhelming support from far and wide has been unbelievable. Thank you to each and every one of you for your kind words love and support. It has meant so much to us all in the darkest of times.”
