Heartbroken family pay tribute to mum killed in crash near M1 in Barnsley
Deborah Girgis, 54, died in the collision on Haigh Roundabout last week
Tributes are being paid to a mum killed in a crash near the M1 in Barnsley, with her family describing her as 'selfless, hardworking, creative and artistic'.
Deborah Girgis, 54, died when her car was in collision with a van on Haigh Roundabout near Junction 38 of the M1 at 11.08am last Friday (25th October).
She was driving a grey Peugeot which was reportedly in collision with a white Vauxhall Vivaro and died later in hospital.
Her family is being supported specialist officers and have today released a tribute in her memory:
"Deborah was a beloved mother, wife and sister. She was selfless, hardworking and incredibly creative and artistic. She loved her garden and collecting antiques.
"She put everyone else first and asked for very little in return. Losing her so unexpectedly has been a hammer blow to our family and left a hole that can never be filled."
A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit and causing death by dangerous driving and has been released on bail.
Police want to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident and has not yet spoken to officers, or may have footage of the vehicles prior to the collision. You should quote incident number 332.
